Rhyming “song”

song is S AO1 NG in the dictionary: 1 syllable, rhyming on AO NG. Any word that ends in exactly those sounds is a perfect rhyme, however it is spelled.

Of its 59 perfect rhymes, 13 are everyday words: along, belong, long, prolong, strong, wrong, gong, lifelong, prong, thong, throng, tong and sarong. The other 46 are rarer words or names, folded under “rarer words and names”.

The closest everyday near rhymes keep the vowel and swap a consonant for one of its sound family: bomb, dawn, drawn, gone, lawn and on. The vowel stays and each consonant after it changes only to a close relative, so these are the nearest-sounding slant rhymes.
