Words that rhyme with Friendship
Friendship, a two-syllable word the lyric earns weight from by context, lands its weight on the tight /ษช/ and snaps shut on a stop. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, the family column is blank, the assonance well is bottomless. Take the lyric role separately and it's a quotidian anchor. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why friendship rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for friendship starts at the vowel โ the short /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 19, assonance 13,205, and consonance 0. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Friendship works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
