Words that rhyme withappear

masculine
Masculine this word

Ends on a stressed syllable — a one-syllable rhyme, or a multisyllable word whose primary stress lands last. The rhyme hits the final beat, the way most rhymes in songs do.

Examples

love · dove · today · believe · forgot

Feminine

Ends with an unstressed syllable trailing the stressed one — always at least two syllables. The rhyme lands a beat earlier and trails off softly.

Examples

river · mother · follow · breaking · mountain

Masculine and feminine endings rarely sing together (the rhyme lands on a different beat), so they're kept apart here.

What it is
  1. The syllables' vowel sounds are identical.
  2. The sounds after the vowels (if any) are identical.
  3. The syllables begin the same — repetition, not a rhyme.
How it feels

Off the rhyme scale — identity is repetition, not resolution. Shown so you can spot it, not reach for it.

Example

fuse / confuse — both stressed syllables are 'fuse'

“appear” at line end — from real songs

I knew you'd find me 'cause I longed you hereAre you my destiny? Is this how you'll appear?
— Nick Cave, “(Are You) the One That I’ve Been Waiting For?” · rhymes appear / here
'Cause I couldn't make myself clearHow I could have made it appear
— Aimee Mann, “Invisible Ink” · rhymes appear / clear
Look much closer when they appearWe'll be older in a year
— Keren Ann, “Right Now & Right Here” · rhymes appear / year

How to read the 2366 results

Tiers follow Pat Pattison's stability scale — pick the resolution your line needs, not just the closest sound. Bold words are common in lyrics; a struck-through word with a cliché flag is an overworked pair; a vermilion dot counts how often the pair appears at line end in our corpus of real songs.

Perfect rhyme 98
Same stressed vowel, same sounds after it, different beginning. Full resolution — the strongest closure a rhyme can give a line.
Additive 147
Same vowel, but one word carries an extra consonant after the shared ending. The added sound softens the landing slightly.
Assonance 1739
Only the stressed vowel matches; the consonants after it are unrelated. Loose and open — useful when a section should stay unresolved.
Consonance 382
The vowels differ but the ending consonants match. The faintest echo of all — texture rather than closure.
Identity 36
The whole stressed syllable repeats, beginning included. That's repetition, not rhyme — the line echoes instead of resolving.
