Words that rhyme with Tier
In phonetic terms, tier is a one-syllable anchor on the r-coloured schwa, which flows into the next line via a liquid. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. What the engine returns: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a low-register anchor. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why tier rhymes the way it does
In our engine, tier registers as a one-syllable word on the r-coloured schwa (/ษหr/) that spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 161, assonance 3,330, and consonance 675. 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. Tier is a word that benefits from the second pass.
