Words that rhyme with Remnant
Sound and sense both matter for remnant. The sound: two-syllable, vowel on the front-and-flat /æ/, ending that closes on the nasal-stop pairing. The sense: a workaday word. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. What the engine returns: perfect rhymes are not on the table, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the assonance well is bottomless. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a common-tongue word. Modern songwriting on this word is an assonance-first practice.

Why remnant rhymes the way it does
Remnant sits on the front-and-flat /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 139, assonance 12,660, and consonance 10. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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. Remnant is a word that benefits from the second pass.
