Words that rhyme with Leicester
On the page, leicester is a workaday word; on the ear it's a three-syllable word on the r-coloured schwa that spills out through a liquid consonant. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line.

Why leicester rhymes the way it does
Leicester is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the r-coloured schwa, then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 159, assonance 12,155, and consonance 462. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Leicester works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
