Words that rhyme with Blur
For the rhyme search, what matters about blur is this: one-syllable, vowel on the rhotic schwa, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. It's a momentum word. Engine returns: there's plenty in the strict column, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the slant-by-vowel column hands you a steady set. Lyric returns: a moving-word. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why blur rhymes the way it does
Pull blur apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the r-coloured schwa (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 50 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 473, assonance 1,400, and consonance 0. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Blur pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
