Words that rhyme with Lexicon
Lexicon works as a plain-speech anchor on the lyric side and three-syllable the round /ษ/ on the sound side โ it lets the nasal carry the tail at the close. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get nothing matches this word strictly, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Sketch the lyric role and you get a workaday word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why lexicon rhymes the way it does
To understand why lexicon rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the open /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 43, assonance 12,979, and consonance 1. 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. 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. Lexicon works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
