RhymeBrain—Not Just for Poets

“I sing [write] from the heart... I sing [write] the words of a song and really feel them, from the top of my head to the tip of my toes... I sing [write] as though my life depends on it, and if I ever stop doing that then I'll stop living.”—Mario Lanza

RhymeBrain isn’t just for poets, it’s for all writers who want to make their writing sing. Use the alliteration aide to add another building block to your writing tool box and make your sentences, headlines, titles, or subtitles lalalalala. Add alliteration (repeating the same consonant sound at the beginning of several words) to your sentences. RhymeBrain figures out how to pronounce your word in the same way a human brain does. It uses combination of heuristics, machine learning and probabilistic algorithms.

RhymeBrain Features

  • Matches the word you input against their database containing over 259,871 words.
  • Results return within a split second, with the best rhyming words shown first.
  • Alliteration aide: Enter two words, and RhymeBrain suggests alternatives that sound better together.
  • For fiction writers, find schoolyard insults for your characters to blurt out.

Tools You Can Use: Rhyming Dictionaries

“It is neither rhyme nor reason.” —A Proverb

No Rhyme, No Reason

Rhyming, the pattern of words containing similar sounds, aids memory. I wondered if I could find some words that rhyme to make a memorable point. When inspiration turned into perspiration, I decided to find help online.

Rhyming Dictionary and Thesaurus
The Rhyme Generator
Online Rhyming Dictionary for Poetry and Songwriting

Neither rhyme, reason nor a rhyming generator found the turn of phrase I so desired. Alas, I could find no rhyme for my reason.
