Words that rhyme with Sample
There's a particular shape to sample: two-syllable, built on a low-front /æ/, ending that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Engine returns: strict matches show up in low numbers, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Lyric returns: a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why sample rhymes the way it does
To understand why sample rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the front-and-flat /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 42, assonance 6,675, and consonance 19. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Sample pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
