Words that rhyme with Whomever
For lyric work, whomever behaves as an unguarded everyday word. Sound-wise: three-syllable, vowel on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, finally it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Pool data: strict matches show up in low numbers, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a quotidian anchor. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why whomever rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for whomever starts at the vowel โ the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. 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. 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. Whomever rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
