Words that rhyme with Drew
Drew, a one-syllable word that turns toward the past, lands its weight on a back /uห/ and softens through an approximant. It carries the weight of what was. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the strict-rhyme well runs deep, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Take the lyric role separately and it's a workaday word. Stay in the perfect column for as long as it surprises you, then drift outward.

Why drew rhymes the way it does
To understand why drew rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the deep /uห/, written /uห/ โ and the ending, which doesn't really close at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 188 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 929, assonance 1,690, and consonance 0. 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. Drew pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
