Words that rhyme with Hastily

On the page, hastily is an atmosphere word; on the ear it's a three-syllable word on the high /ษช/ that opens out at the end. It fixes the colour of the verse before anything else happens. The headline counts: the strict-rhyme column is bare, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. The lyric headline: it works as a tonal anchor. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why hastily rhymes the way it does

In our engine, hastily registers as a three-syllable word on the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 242, assonance 6,860, and consonance 35. 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 practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for hastily tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ€” and often prefers โ€” the slant.
