Words that rhyme with Prince

Start from the sound: prince is a one-syllable word on the clipped /ษช/, and it tails through a fricative. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect matches come in a small handful, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Take the lyric role separately and it's a plain-speech anchor. Family rhymes are the gentlest step away from strict; use them when the line wants softening.

Why prince rhymes the way it does

To understand why prince rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ€” the tight /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ€” and the ending, which spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 26 matches, family rhymes 28, additive and subtractive together 70, assonance 12,159, and consonance 162. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Prince rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
