Words that rhyme with Censorship
On the page, censorship is an unguarded everyday word; on the ear it's a three-syllable word on the short /ษช/ that snaps shut on a stop. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the strict-rhyme column is bare, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the assonance column dwarfs the others. Take the lyric role separately and it's a quotidian anchor. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why censorship rhymes the way it does
Pull censorship apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 18, assonance 12,920, and consonance 1. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Censorship works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
