Words that rhyme with Heartily
Most songwriters treat heartily as a temperature-of-the-line word, but the phonology underneath matters: three-syllable, vowel on the tight /ษช/, ending that ends on an open vowel. It tells the listener which weather to expect from the verse. Its job in a lyric is a tonal anchor, holding down whatever line it lands in. Songwriters asking for rhymes for heartily run into the same map every time: the strict-rhyme column is bare, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why heartily rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for heartily starts at the vowel โ the clipped /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 76, assonance 8,028, and consonance 9. 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 the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Heartily is a word that benefits from the second pass.
