Words that rhyme with Variety
From a sound-design view, variety is a workaday word on the high /ษช/, three-syllable, and it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Engine returns: the perfect-rhyme list is short, family rhymes are simply absent, the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Lyric returns: a low-register anchor. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why variety rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for variety starts at the vowel โ the high /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 95, assonance 3,029, and consonance 1059. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for variety tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
