Words that rhyme with Blindness
Sound and sense both matter for blindness. The sound: two-syllable, vowel on the front /ษ/, ending that lets the line dissolve into a fricative. The sense: a concept-anchor. It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. The headline counts: the strict column is unhelpful here, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. The lyric headline: it works as an idea-word. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why blindness rhymes the way it does
In our engine, blindness registers as a two-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 121, assonance 3,242, and consonance 20. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Blindness rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
