Words that rhyme with Markedly
Approached as a word the lyric earns weight from by context, markedly is a three-syllable core sitting on the tight /ษช/ โ which opens out at the end. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Two readings: as data โ the strict column is unhelpful here, family rhymes are simply absent, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from; as lyric โ a quotidian anchor. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why markedly rhymes the way it does
Pull markedly apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 54, assonance 8,181, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Markedly reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
