Words that rhyme with Quack
The phonetic facts first: quack is one-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the short /ษ/, and the line closes on a hard stop. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Pool data: there's plenty in the strict column, family rhymes are simply absent, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a quotidian anchor. The strict list is rich enough to anchor the whole song.

Why quack rhymes the way it does
Pull quack apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 68 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 6,518, and consonance 643. 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. 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. Quack is a word that benefits from the second pass.
