If you typed what rhymes with resistor to land here, the breakdown is this: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from.

Why resistor rhymes the way it does
In our engine, resistor registers as a three-syllable word on the rounded /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 79, assonance 12,506, and consonance 435. 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. Resistor is a word that benefits from the second pass.
