Words that rhyme with Niche
Approached as a common-tongue word, niche is a one-syllable core sitting on the high /ɪ/ — which lands on an affricate. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Songwriters reach for it as a low-register anchor. Strict rhymes are scarce, family rhymes are simply absent, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why niche rhymes the way it does
Niche is built around the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's one-syllable and closes with an affricate. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 24 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 7,070, and consonance 148. 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. 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. Niche rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
