Words that rhyme with Sequel
Start from the sound: sequel is a two-syllable word on the front /ษ/, and it trails through a flowing liquid. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. In a song, the word is an unguarded everyday word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows perfect rhymes are not on the table, family rhymes are simply absent, and the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why sequel rhymes the way it does
Sequel is built around the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 193, assonance 4,276, and consonance 4. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Sequel works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
