Words that rhyme with Icing
A two-syllable word that reads as a workaday word, icing sits on the short /ษช/ and trails through a nasal hum. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Engine returns: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Lyric returns: a low-register anchor. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why icing rhymes the way it does
Icing is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 26 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 122, assonance 3,146, and consonance 112. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Icing is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
