Words that rhyme with Probe
Probe belongs to the one-syllable group; its vowel is the open /oส/, and it ends with a clean stop. The lyric tradition treats it as a quotidian anchor. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. The assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the perfect pool is workable but compact. Type rhymes for probe into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: the pull is toward slant work. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why probe rhymes the way it does
Probe is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the round /oส/, then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 107, assonance 3,556, and consonance 222. 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. 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. Probe rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
