Words that rhyme with Jetty
Most songwriters treat jetty as a word the lyric earns weight from by context, but the phonology underneath matters: two-syllable, vowel on the short /ɪ/, ending that opens out at the end. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. The assonance column dwarfs the others, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the perfect column gives you just enough to start. Look up rhymes for jetty and you'll get a particular story: the pull is toward slant work. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why jetty rhymes the way it does
The phonology of jetty is a two-syllable core: the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 23 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 7, assonance 10,721, and consonance 980. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Jetty is a word that benefits from the second pass.
