Words that rhyme with Fruity
Fruity, a two-syllable word the songwriter reaches for when the line needs scaffolding, lands its weight on the short /ɪ/ and ends on an open vowel. Songs that use it well also reach for something physical nearby. The slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the perfect-rhyme list is short. Anyone hunting rhymes for fruity ends up at the same crossroads: the pull is toward slant work. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why fruity rhymes the way it does
Fruity is built around the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's two-syllable and leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 141, assonance 3,560, and consonance 1004. 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. 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. Fruity rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
