Words that rhyme with Joint
As a one-syllable word, joint sits on the /ɔɪ/ diphthong and lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Its job in a lyric is a workaday word, holding down whatever line it lands in. Search rhymes for joint long enough and you notice the pattern: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, the family column is blank, and the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why joint rhymes the way it does
In our engine, joint registers as a one-syllable word on the rare /ɔɪ/ (/ɔɪ/) that ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 12 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 46, assonance 2,370, and consonance 348. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Joint rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
