Words that rhyme with Tuner
The phonetic facts first: tuner is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, and the line spills out through a liquid consonant. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Type rhymes for tuner into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, family rhymes give you a small but useful slant pool, while the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Its lyric role is a word the lyric earns weight from by context. When the strict column thins, the family column is the most singable next step.

Why tuner rhymes the way it does
Pull tuner apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 10, additive and subtractive together 139, assonance 3,515, and consonance 969. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Tuner works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
