Words that rhyme with Editor
The phonetic facts first: editor is three-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the back /ɔːr/, and the line ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. From the rhyme-data side: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. From the lyric side, it works as a quotidian anchor. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.

Why editor rhymes the way it does
The phonology of editor is a three-syllable core: the /ɔːr/ vowel (/ɔːr/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 135, assonance 10,717, and consonance 31. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Editor is a word that benefits from the second pass.
