Words that rhyme with Entry
From a sound-design view, entry is a quotidian anchor on the clipped /ɪ/, two-syllable, and it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. What the engine returns: perfect rhymes are not on the table, family rhymes are simply absent, and the assonance count climbs into the thousands. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a common-tongue word. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf — the strict column is the footnote.

Why entry rhymes the way it does
Entry is built around the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's two-syllable and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 132, assonance 12,996, and consonance 18. 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. Entry is a word that benefits from the second pass.
