Perfect rhymes (25 shown)

Exact match from the stressed vowel onward, with voice-pair near-perfects folded in.

Family rhymes (25 shown)

Same vowel, with a single consonant swapped for one from the same articulatory family. Slant rhymes that pass the ear test.

Additive & subtractive (25 shown)

Same core sound, with an extra consonant added (or one dropped) at the end.

Assonance (25 shown)

Matching vowel sound, consonants ignored. The biggest pool by far, and the workhorse of slant rhyming.

Ending rhymes (0 shown)

A shared unstressed final syllable — the window/shadow slant. Weaker than a perfect rhyme, completely idiomatic in song.

No ending rhymes for plan — its final syllable carries the stress, so the columns above do the work.

Matching consonant sound, vowels ignored. Best for texture and tension rather than punch.

Why plan rhymes the way it does

The phonology of plan is a one-syllable core: the flat /æ/ (/æ/), then it hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 103 matches, family rhymes 99, additive and subtractive together 253, assonance 8,379, and consonance 1412. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Plan pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
