Words that rhyme with Hangar
For lyric work, hangar behaves as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the broad /ษหr/, finally it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Engine returns: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, the family-rhyme list contributes ear-friendly slants, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Lyric returns: an unguarded everyday word. Family rhymes give you slants that still feel like rhymes; lean on them when the strict pool fatigues.
