Words that rhyme with Thrice
Take thrice apart phonetically and the bones are these: one-syllable, vowel on a long-i vowel that opens the mouth, ending that spills into a fricative. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. This one travels in song as a workaday word. Songwriters who arrive looking for what rhymes with thrice find the same uneven map: there's plenty in the strict column, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. Start strict, scan family, and only reach for assonance when the line wants slant.

Why thrice rhymes the way it does
Thrice sits on a long-i vowel that opens the mouth, transcribed /i/ in our engine, and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 100 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 103, assonance 2,972, and consonance 495. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Thrice pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
