Words that rhyme with Ultra
Ultra, a two-syllable stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word, lands its weight on the flat /æ/ and ends on an unbuttoned vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Songwriters reach for it as a low-register anchor. The strict column is unhelpful here, family rhymes are simply absent, and the assonance well is bottomless. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why ultra rhymes the way it does
To understand why ultra rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — a low-front /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 15, assonance 4,888, and consonance 17. 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. Ultra is a word that benefits from the second pass.
