Words that rhyme with Whichever
Whichever belongs to the three-syllable group; its vowel is the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, and it spills out through a liquid consonant. The lyric tradition treats it as a common-tongue word. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. The headline counts: the perfect-rhyme list is short, family rhymes come up empty, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. The lyric headline: it works as a word everyone uses. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why whichever rhymes the way it does
To understand why whichever rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the rhotic schwa, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 21 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 12, assonance 8,244, and consonance 267. 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. 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. Whichever works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
