Words that rhyme with Coyote
The phonetic facts first: coyote is one-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the short /ษ/, and the line lands on a closed syllable. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. It serves as a low-register anchor in most lyrics. Anyone hunting rhymes for coyote ends up at the same crossroads: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why coyote rhymes the way it does
The phonology of coyote is a one-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 104, assonance 5,883, and consonance 899. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Coyote works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
