Words that rhyme with Turnover
Turnover: three-syllable, a quotidian anchor, vowel sitting on the r-coloured schwa, ending that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Songwriters reach for it as a workaday word. No strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance well is bottomless. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why turnover rhymes the way it does
Pull turnover apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 87, assonance 4,092, and consonance 4. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Turnover rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
