Words that rhyme with Rapport
Treated as a workaday word, rapport is also a two-syllable sound-shape on the back /ษหr/ โ one that closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Engine returns: the perfect column carries weight on its own, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Lyric returns: a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Hold the perfect column for the chorus; let the verses sample the slant columns.

Why rapport rhymes the way it does
In our engine, rapport registers as a two-syllable word on the rounded /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 72 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. 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. Rapport is a word that benefits from the second pass.
