Words that rhyme with Wonder
Wonder reads as an inner-weather word on the page; phonetically it's two-syllable, anchored on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, ending where it trails through a flowing liquid. The word names a feeling without describing it. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes hand you a small starter set, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance well runs into four figures. From the lyric side, it works as a desire-anchor. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why wonder rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for wonder starts at the vowel โ the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 74, assonance 4,321, and consonance 589. 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. Wonder rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
