Words that rhyme with Tower
Tower: two-syllable, an image anchor, vowel sitting on a falling /aส/, ending that spills out through a liquid consonant. It's an image-anchor more than an idea-anchor. The assonance pool gives you reasonable options, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the perfect-rhyme list is short.

Why tower rhymes the way it does
To understand why tower rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the open /aส/ glide, written /aสษr/ โ and the ending, which spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 27, assonance 1,152, 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With tower, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
