Words that rhyme with Excerpt
Excerpt: two-syllable, an unguarded everyday word, vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ vowel, ending that lands on a closed syllable. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Its job in a lyric is a low-register anchor, holding down whatever line it lands in. Run rhymes for excerpt through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: nothing matches this word strictly, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance well is bottomless. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why excerpt rhymes the way it does
In our engine, excerpt registers as a two-syllable word on the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/) that snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 110, assonance 13,174, and consonance 1. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With excerpt, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
