Words that rhyme with Dod
Dod belongs to the one-syllable group; its vowel is the open /ษ/, and it lands on a stopped consonant. The lyric tradition treats it as a workaday word. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. What the engine returns: you won't run short of perfect rhymes, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a household-word. Take the strict matches first; they have more range than the count suggests.

Why dod rhymes the way it does
Dod is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 63 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 6,732, and consonance 863. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Dod pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
