Words that rhyme with Excited
The shape of excited: three-syllable, vowel coloured by the short /ษ/, ending that lands on a closed syllable. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get strict rhymes are scarce, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Sketch the lyric role and you get a low-register anchor. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why excited rhymes the way it does
Excited sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 239, assonance 2,971, and consonance 274. 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. Excited is a word that benefits from the second pass.
