Words that rhyme with Possible
Sound and sense both matter for possible. The sound: three-syllable, vowel on the clipped /ษช/, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. The sense: a non-image word. Songwriters anchor it with an image to keep the line from floating. This one travels in song as a concept-anchor. Type rhymes for possible into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: strict matches don't survive the classifier, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance count climbs into the thousands. Reach for the assonance list whenever the strict pool starts repeating itself.

Why possible rhymes the way it does
The phonology of possible is a three-syllable core: the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 54, assonance 7,221, and consonance 40. 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. Possible works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
