Words that rhyme with Mfa
Mfa, a one-syllable common-tongue word, lands its weight on the short /æ/ and doesn't close on a consonant at all. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. From the lyric side, it works as an unguarded everyday word. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why mfa rhymes the way it does
To understand why mfa rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — a low-front /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, 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. 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. Mfa works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
