How does the rhyme matching work?

Each word is reduced to a “rhyme key” — the substring from the last vowel cluster (including trailing consonants). Words with identical rhyme keys are exact rhymes; words sharing the final 2 characters are slant rhymes.

Why is the word list so small?

It’s embedded directly in the page so the tool stays 100% client-side and instant. ~600 carefully chosen common words cover most everyday rhyming requests without bloating the bundle.

What’s the difference between exact and slant rhymes?

Exact rhymes share the same final vowel-cluster + consonants (cat/hat/mat). Slant rhymes share only the final 2 characters (cat/sat are exact; cat/mat are exact; cat/lat would be slant if the latter were a word).

Does it use real phonetic transcriptions?

No — the heuristic is spelling-based, not phonetic. It works well for most English words but may miss some phonetic rhymes (like “move”/“love”) where spelling diverges from sound.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The word list is embedded in the JavaScript bundle and the search runs locally in your browser.
