Words that rhyme with Sign
Map sign onto a phonological grid and you get: one-syllable, the clipped /ษช/, ending that rings out through a nasal. Lyrically, it reads as a written-in-stone word. The line containing it usually carries weight. Pool data: perfect rhymes are common for this one, family rhymes contribute a handful of voice-pair near-perfects, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a picture word. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why sign rhymes the way it does
Sign sits on the short /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 136 matches, family rhymes 50, additive and subtractive together 344, assonance 3,854, and consonance 1441. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Sign rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
