Words that rhyme with Comfort
Approached as an unguarded everyday word, comfort is a two-syllable core sitting on the rounded /ษหr/ โ which ends with a liquid-stop kick. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. The assonance well is bottomless, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and nothing matches this word strictly. Rhymes for comfort have a particular footprint: the pull is toward slant work. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why comfort rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for comfort starts at the vowel โ the rounded /ษหr/, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line ends with a liquid-stop kick. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 46, assonance 5,058, and consonance 2. 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. Comfort rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
