Words that rhyme with Choice
Singers reaching for choice find a low-register anchor on the surface and a one-syllable core on the rare /ษษช/ underneath โ one that trails off into a fricative. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. In a song, the word is a common-tongue word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the perfect column gives you just enough to start, family rhymes come up empty, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why choice rhymes the way it does
Pull choice apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the /ษษช/ diphthong (/ษษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 36, assonance 1,618, and consonance 481. 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. 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. Choice rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
