Listen to the ending
A rhyme depends on sound. Night and kite look different, but their stressed endings match. Two words with similar spellings do not necessarily rhyme.
Choose meaning as well as sound
Find a word that fits what you want to say. A good rhyme gives your next line somewhere to go; it does not need to force a story that makes no sense.
This starter collection contains five word families. It is not a complete dictionary. Pronunciation and rhyme judgments can vary by accent.
