Words that rhyme with Prize
Singers reaching for prize find a common-tongue word on the surface and a one-syllable core on the gliding /aɪ/ underneath — one that tails through a fricative. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Perfect rhymes turn up in abundance, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, while the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side.

Why prize rhymes the way it does
To understand why prize rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the bright /aɪ/, written /aɪz/ — and the ending, which trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 93 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 108, assonance 2,937, and consonance 730. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Prize works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
