Words that rhyme with Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy belongs to the four-syllable group; its vowel is the high /ɪ/, and it doesn't close on a consonant at all. The lyric tradition treats it as a plain-speech anchor. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Engine returns: strict rhymes are scarce, family rhymes come up empty, the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Lyric returns: a word everyone uses. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why hypocrisy rhymes the way it does
In our engine, hypocrisy registers as a four-syllable word on the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 7,885, and consonance 3. 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. Hypocrisy is a word that benefits from the second pass.
