Words that rhyme with Kanji
Kanji is a two-syllable word built around the tight /ษช/, and it leaves the vowel hanging open. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Two readings: as data โ there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, family rhymes are simply absent, the assonance count climbs into the thousands; as lyric โ a household-word. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf โ the strict column is the footnote.

Why kanji rhymes the way it does
To understand why kanji rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the tight /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 6,670, and consonance 89. 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. Kanji is a word that benefits from the second pass.
