Words that rhyme with Spotting
From a sound-design view, spotting is a common-tongue word on the high /ษช/, two-syllable, and it hums to a nasal close. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. The word arrives in song as an unguarded everyday word. Run rhymes for spotting through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why spotting rhymes the way it does
Spotting is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 82, assonance 7,467, and consonance 258. 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. 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. Spotting is a word that benefits from the second pass.
