Words that rhyme with Prediction
As a three-syllable word, prediction sits on the short /ษ/ and hums to a nasal close. Songwriters anchor it with an image to keep the line from floating. The vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five, family rhymes come up empty, and perfect-rhyme territory is narrow. Look up rhymes for prediction and you'll get a particular story: the pull is toward slant work. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf โ the strict column is the footnote.

Why prediction rhymes the way it does
Pull prediction apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 53, assonance 11,752, and consonance 41. 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. 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. Prediction is a word that benefits from the second pass.
