Words that rhyme with Remit

If you came here looking for what rhymes with remit, here's the shape of it: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: the perfect-rhyme column has enough to live in, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume.

Why remit rhymes the way it does
The phonology of remit is a two-syllable core: the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 59 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 10,913, and consonance 907. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Remit pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
