Words that rhyme with Wilder
For lyric work, wilder behaves as a liberation word. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, finally it trails through a flowing liquid. Freedom-words like this signal the bridge before it arrives. From the rhyme-data side: strict matches don't survive the classifier, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance options multiply into the thousands. From the lyric side, it works as a take-off word. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf โ the strict column is the footnote.

Why wilder rhymes the way it does
Wilder sits on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 199, assonance 3,095, and consonance 310. 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. 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. Wilder works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
