Words that rhyme with Dietary
The phonetic facts first: dietary is three-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the high /ษช/, and the line opens out at the end. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. The headline counts: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. The lyric headline: it works as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why dietary rhymes the way it does
The phonology of dietary is a three-syllable core: the short /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 185, assonance 3,058, and consonance 14. 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With dietary, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
