Words that rhyme with Ninth
As a one-syllable word, ninth sits on the tight /ษช/ and softens into a fricative tail. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Two readings: as data โ perfect rhymes are not on the table, family rhymes come up empty, the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side; as lyric โ a word everyone uses. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why ninth rhymes the way it does
In our engine, ninth registers as a one-syllable word on the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) that tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 152, assonance 3,049, and consonance 14. 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. 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. Ninth works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
