Type rhymes for muzzle into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: strict matches show up in low numbers, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out.

Why muzzle rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for muzzle starts at the vowel โ the short /ส/, IPA /ส/ โ and ends where the line spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 35, assonance 4,648, and consonance 49. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Muzzle works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
