Words that rhyme with Munch
Munch belongs to the one-syllable group; its vowel is the central /ส/, and it ends on an affricate snap. The lyric tradition treats it as a plain-speech anchor. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Its job in a lyric is a quotidian anchor, holding down whatever line it lands in. Run rhymes for munch through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, the family column is blank, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why munch rhymes the way it does
To understand why munch rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ส/, written /ส/ โ and the ending, which closes with an affricate. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 4,319, and consonance 63. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Munch rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
