Words that rhyme with Condor
The phonetic facts first: condor is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the /ษหr/ vowel, and the line spills out through a liquid consonant. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, the family column is blank, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Take the lyric role separately and it's a household-word. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why condor rhymes the way it does
In our engine, condor registers as a two-syllable word on the back /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 113, assonance 7,418, and consonance 467. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Condor pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
