Words that rhyme with Windmill
In phonetic terms, windmill is a two-syllable anchor on the tight /ษช/, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. It's a weather-word doing tonal work. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: strict matches don't survive the classifier, family rhymes come up empty, the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Take the lyric role separately and it's a weather word. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why windmill rhymes the way it does
Windmill is built around the high /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 53, assonance 13,463, and consonance 1. 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. Windmill works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
