Words that rhyme with Sneaking
Treated as a common-tongue word, sneaking is also a two-syllable sound-shape on the high /ɪ/ — one that trails through a nasal hum. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. The headline counts: the perfect pool is workable but compact, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. The lyric headline: it works as a household-word. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why sneaking rhymes the way it does
The phonology of sneaking is a two-syllable core: the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 191, assonance 5,967, and consonance 120. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Sneaking reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
