Words that rhyme with Plotting
For lyric work, plotting behaves as a workaday word. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the clipped /ɪ/, finally it lets the nasal carry the tail. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. The assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and perfect matches come in a small handful. Type rhymes for plotting into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: the pull is toward slant work. The contemporary ear forgives — and prefers — the assonance matches here.

Why plotting rhymes the way it does
Plotting sits on the tight /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 82, assonance 7,468, and consonance 258. 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. 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. Plotting works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
