Words that rhyme with Nyse
Start from the sound: nyse is a one-syllable word on a long-i vowel that opens the mouth, and it spills into a fricative. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Run rhymes for nyse through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: strict rhymes are abundant, family rhymes come up empty, while the assonance well is bottomless. Its lyric role is a word the lyric earns weight from by context. There's enough in the strict column to write a verse without leaving it.

Why nyse rhymes the way it does
Nyse sits on the gliding /aษช/, transcribed /y/ in our engine, and trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 137 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 166, assonance 4,809, and consonance 450. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Nyse is a word that benefits from the second pass.
