Words that rhyme with Edible
Map edible onto a phonological grid and you get: three-syllable, the tight /ษช/, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. Lyrically, it reads as a thinking-word. Abstract words like this work best when the surrounding line is sensory. What the engine returns: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a non-image word. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why edible rhymes the way it does
Edible is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's three-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 85, assonance 12,244, and consonance 22. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Edible rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
