Words that rhyme with Latter

Why latter rhymes the way it does
In our engine, latter registers as a two-syllable word on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) that spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 26 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 22, assonance 6,630, and consonance 1056. 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With latter, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
