Words that rhyme with Brooch
Sound and sense both matter for brooch. The sound: one-syllable, vowel on the deep /uห/, ending that lands on a rare affricate consonant. The sense: a word the lyric earns weight from by context. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. The headline counts: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance well runs into four figures. The lyric headline: it works as a household-word. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why brooch rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for brooch starts at the vowel โ a back /uห/, IPA /uห/ โ and ends where the line lands on a rare affricate consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 2,584, and consonance 172. 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. Brooch rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
