Words that rhyme with Quarter
Sound and sense both matter for quarter. The sound: two-syllable, vowel on the r-coloured schwa, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. The sense: a common-tongue word. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. The headline counts: perfect matches come in a small handful, family rhymes are simply absent, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. The lyric headline: it works as an unguarded everyday word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why quarter rhymes the way it does
Pull quarter apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 19 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 142, assonance 8,129, and consonance 141. 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. 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. Quarter works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
