Words that rhyme with Kindle
Kindle, a two-syllable common-tongue word, lands its weight on the high /ษช/ and flows into the next line via a liquid. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Two readings: as data โ strict matches show up in low numbers, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, the assonance well runs into four figures; as lyric โ a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why kindle rhymes the way it does
To understand why kindle rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the high /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 13,431, and consonance 29. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Kindle reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
