Words that rhyme with Courier
Courier is a two-syllable word built around the r-coloured schwa, and it spills out through a liquid consonant. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. From the lyric side, it works as a word everyone uses. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why courier rhymes the way it does
In our engine, courier registers as a two-syllable word on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) that flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 3, assonance 1,870, and consonance 0. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Courier reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
