Words that rhyme with Mar
You can read mar two ways: as a quotidian anchor, or as a one-syllable shape on the /ɑːr/ vowel that trails through a flowing liquid. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. It serves as a plain-speech anchor in most lyrics. Run rhymes for mar through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why mar rhymes the way it does
In our engine, mar registers as a one-syllable word on the open /ɑːr/ (/ɑːr/) that spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 40 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 296, assonance 6,948, and consonance 500. 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. Mar works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
