Words That Dance Alone: The Unrhymables

Ever met a word that refuses to join the rhyming party? Some words play hard to rhyme, like puzzle pieces that refuse to fit.
Words like “marathon,” “silver,” and “purple” proudly stand alone in their rhymeless glory.
These phonetic mavericks are like rebels on the poetry stage, boldly defying expectations and leaving poets scratching their heads.

Examples of words that don’t rhyme with other words:

• Month
• Silver
• Marathon
• Purple
• Queue
• Bologna
• Cypress
• Wednesday
• Rural
• Cologne
• Rhythm

The Curious Case of “Orange”

Hold the rhyme police, we’ve got news: some words accused of being unrhymable do have playful pals!
For example, the word “orange” rhymes with “sporange” (a rare type of fungus) and “blorenge” (a hill in Wales)
While these words may be obscure, they are legit words playing by all the rules of a proper rhyme.
