rhyming dictionaries

Verse-writing lookup tools

Rhyming dictionaries are reference books that organize words by their ending sounds rather than alphabetically, helping poets, lyricists, and songwriters find words that rhyme.

Entries typically list all words sharing a particular ending: under "-ation" you'd find nation, station, elation, and hundreds more.
