Words that rhyme with Wiz
The phonetic facts first: wiz is one-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the tight /ɪ/, and the line lets the line dissolve into a fricative. It's a word everyone uses — which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. It serves as a household-word in most lyrics. Songwriters asking for rhymes for wiz run into the same map every time: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why wiz rhymes the way it does
Pull wiz apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 31 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 10,211, and consonance 804. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Wiz pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
