Words that rhyme with Minute
As a two-syllable word, minute sits on a closing /uห/ and lands on a stopped consonant. It locates the song on a clock. Two readings: as data โ no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, the assonance well is bottomless; as lyric โ a now/then word. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.
