Words that rhyme with Modular
As a three-syllable word, modular sits on the open /ษหr/ and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. In a song, the word is a household-word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the strict column is unhelpful here, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why modular rhymes the way it does
In our engine, modular registers as a three-syllable word on the open /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 58, assonance 6,194, and consonance 20. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Modular pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
