Words that rhyme with Soy

Why soy rhymes the way it does
Soy is built around the rounded /ษษช/ glide (/ษษช/); it's one-syllable and leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 41 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 189, assonance 487, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Soy is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
