Words that rhyme with Hurrah
Map hurrah onto a phonological grid and you get: two-syllable, the flat /æ/, ending that fades through an approximant. Lyrically, it reads as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Songwriters who arrive looking for what rhymes with hurrah find the same uneven map: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, no family-rhyme matches turn up, while the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Its lyric role is an unguarded everyday word. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why hurrah rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for hurrah starts at the vowel — the front-and-flat /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line tails off through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 37 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 964, assonance 4,478, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something — the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Hurrah is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
