Words that rhyme with Skye
A one-syllable word that reads as a plain-speech anchor, skye sits on the front /ษ/ and opens out at the end. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. The headline counts: the perfect-rhyme list is short, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance well runs into four figures. The lyric headline: it works as a low-register anchor. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why skye rhymes the way it does
Skye sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1346, assonance 6,289, and consonance 0. 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. Skye is a word that benefits from the second pass.
