Words that rhyme with Sill
For lyric work, sill behaves as a common-tongue word. Sound-wise: one-syllable, vowel on the high /ɪ/, finally it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. From the rhyme-data side: the strict-rhyme well runs deep, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. From the lyric side, it works as a workaday word. The strict list is rich enough to anchor the whole song.

Why sill rhymes the way it does
The phonology of sill is a one-syllable core: the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 51 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 100, assonance 8,785, and consonance 767. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Sill pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
