Words that rhyme with Blot
Most songwriters treat blot as a workaday word, but the phonology underneath matters: one-syllable, vowel on the round /ษ/, ending that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. This one travels in song as an unguarded everyday word. Search for what rhymes with blot and the engine returns a recognisable shape: the perfect-rhyme column has enough to live in, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Pull from the perfect column first; it has range you can use across a whole song.

Why blot rhymes the way it does
Pull blot apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 63 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 6,690, and consonance 997. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Blot rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
