Words that rhyme with Twister
Singers reaching for twister find a low-register anchor on the surface and a two-syllable core on the rhotic schwa underneath โ one that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Engine returns: the perfect-rhyme list is short, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Lyric returns: a household-word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why twister rhymes the way it does
In our engine, twister registers as a two-syllable word on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) that spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 79, assonance 12,506, and consonance 435. 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. Twister rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
