Words that rhyme with Frontal

Start from the sound: frontal is a two-syllable word on the front-and-flat /æ/, and it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Songwriters reach for it as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. There are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Modern songwriting on this word is an assonance-first practice.

Why frontal rhymes the way it does

To understand why frontal rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the flat /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 35, assonance 5,191, and consonance 84. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Frontal rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
