Words that rhyme with Trickery
There's a particular shape to trickery: three-syllable, built on the clipped /ษช/, ending that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. What the engine returns: strict matches don't survive the classifier, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a workaday word. Modern songwriting on this word is an assonance-first practice.

Why trickery rhymes the way it does
Trickery is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1, assonance 8,535, and consonance 646. 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. 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. Trickery is a word that benefits from the second pass.
