Words that rhyme with Char
Sound and sense both matter for char. The sound: one-syllable, vowel on the /ษหr/ vowel, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. The sense: a word the lyric earns weight from by context. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. This one travels in song as a household-word. Songwriters asking for rhymes for char run into the same map every time: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance well is bottomless. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why char rhymes the way it does
In our engine, char registers as a one-syllable word on the open /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 40 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 296, assonance 6,948, and consonance 500. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Char is a word that benefits from the second pass.
