Words that rhyme with Suffix
Take suffix apart phonetically and the bones are these: two-syllable, vowel on the tight /ɪ/, ending that ends in a hissed consonant. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Engine returns: nothing matches this word strictly, family rhymes are simply absent, the assonance well runs into four figures. Lyric returns: a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why suffix rhymes the way it does
Suffix sits on the high /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 4,688, and consonance 10. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Suffix works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
