Words that rhyme with Ovary

From the rhyme-data side: strict matches show up in low numbers, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge.

Why ovary rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for ovary starts at the vowel โ the high /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 12, assonance 1,743, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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. Ovary rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
