Words that rhyme with Example
As a three-syllable word, example sits on the short /æ/ and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. It serves as a plain-speech anchor in most lyrics. If you typed what rhymes with example to land here, the breakdown is this: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. The contemporary ear forgives — and prefers — the assonance matches here.

How songwriters use these rhymes
Every time I write example, the next line wants preamble.
No family rhymes for example. Reach for assonance below for the closest slant.
Example at the verse, examples at the line that follows it.
Example at the line's beginning, dismantle at its end, same vowel humming through both.
Example and sampler share the closing shape, even when the vowels disagree.
Why example rhymes the way it does
In our engine, example registers as a three-syllable word on a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) that flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 42, assonance 6,675, and consonance 19. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for example tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
