Looking at the rhyming program Rhymesaurus I found an interesting list of rhyming definitions. There is a rhyme to every word
- 1 Perfect rhymes Perfect rhymes (also called 'normative' rhymes) are words that end with the same sounds and the same lexical reference, regardless if they are single-syllable rhymes (e.g., cat/hat), double-syllable rhymes (e.g., piranha/iguana), or triple-syllable rhymes (e.g., hammering/stammering).
2 Light rhymes Light rhymes are word pairs where the final syllable of one is stressed, but the penultimate syllable of the other is stressed (e.g., morning/sing).
3 final-syllable rhymes Final-syllable rhymes are words that end with the same sound, regardless of lexical emphasis.
4 First-Syllable Rhymes First-syllable rhymes are words whose first syllable rhymes (e.g., porcupine, fork, orchid, etc.).
5 Reverse Rhymes Reverse rhymes makes are words that start with the same sounds (e.g. conclude, conclusive).
6 Back rhymes Back rhymes are like reverse rhymes on the final syllable of the word (e.g., backpack/notepad).
7 Homophones Words with different spellings that are pronounced the same (e.g rain, reign).
8 Consonance Words that have the same pattern of consonant sounds, regardless of spelling (e.g., back/neck).
9 Double consonance Double consonance are words that have the same final two consonant sounds (e.g., blackjack/joke).
10 Assonance Words that have the same pattern of vowel sounds, regardless of spelling (e.g., african/catalan).
11 Sight Rhymes Sight rhymes are words that look like they would rhyme, but don't. (e.g. good/blood/mood, love/move/rove)
12 Half-double Rhymes Word pairs where the final stressed syllable of one word rhymes with the penultimate stressed syllable of the other (e.g. love/glover).
13 Amphisbaenic Rhymes Amphisbaenic rhymes are rhymes where the final syllable is the same, in reverse (e.g. tail/late).
14 Elided Rhymes Elided rhymes are word pairs where the words would be a perfect rhyme, except that one of the two words has a final vowel sound that the other does not (e.g., vivid/lived).
15 Begins With, Ends With and Contains 'Begins With' are ords that begin with the same sounds, without regard for syllabification or lexical emphasis (e.g. rap/raps). 'Ends with' are words that end with the same sounds. 'Contains' are words that contain the specified pattern of sounds (e.g. rap/wrapping)
16 Sounds Like Words that sound similar (e.g. robin/ravine). -
