A rhyming dictionary is a dictionary specifically designed to search rhyming words used in poetry and song writing. In such a dictionary, all the words are categorized into different groups comprising of two words rhyming with each other.
Lot of efforts is required in compiling a rhyming dictionary because it is based on the pronunciation of words not on the spellings or alphabets. With time, the pronunciation, word termination as well as the rhyming pattern changes. Therefore, one has to be very cautious when searching for rhyming words and ensure that the search category fits in the current rhyming patterns.
Rhyming words are categorized into six classes: end rhymes, last syllable rhymes, double rhymes, triple rhymes, beginning rhymes and first syllable rhymes. End rhymes are words that end with the same vowel. Last syllable rhymes are words that sound similar and have a common constant or vowel at the end. Double rhymes are words that sound similar in the second to last syllable. Triple rhymes are words that sound similar in the third to last syllable. Beginning rhymes are words with the same initial sound of both vowel and constant. First syllable rhymes are words with same initial constant and cound.
Rhyming words are helpful for kids to write poems in their early formative years. It also helps them to learn the correct pronunciation. In the later years of life, the same words help them to be a successful writer or poet. So, it’s good to learn and master the language in all aspects.
