Words that rhyme with Unify
Unify: three-syllable, a word everyone uses, vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, ending that opens out at the end. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Pool data: strict rhymes arrive in number here, family rhymes are simply absent, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a household-word. Spend the first verse in the perfect column before sampling the slants.

Why unify rhymes the way it does
To understand why unify rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the high /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 121 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2040, assonance 2,017, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Unify works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
