Words that rhyme with Missy
Start from the sound: missy is a two-syllable word on the high /ɪ/, and it opens out at the end. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, family rhymes come up empty, the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Take the lyric role separately and it's a common-tongue word. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why missy rhymes the way it does
In our engine, missy registers as a two-syllable word on the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 10,385, and consonance 536. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Missy is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
