Words that rhyme with Hide
As a one-syllable word, hide sits on the open /aษช/ diphthong and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. It's restless โ the line behind it tends to move. Songwriters reach for it as an after-word.

Why hide rhymes the way it does
Hide sits on the full-throated /aษช/, transcribed /aษชd/ in our engine, and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 417 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 254, assonance 3,781, and consonance 1082. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Hide works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
