Words that rhyme with Mech
Take mech apart phonetically and the bones are these: one-syllable, vowel on the centred /ษ/, ending that lands on an affricate. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes hand you a small starter set, the family column is blank, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. From the lyric side, it works as a quotidian anchor. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why mech rhymes the way it does
In our engine, mech registers as a one-syllable word on the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lands on a rare affricate consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 10, assonance 7,810, and consonance 147. 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 mech, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
