Rhyme app for songwriters
Rhymes that sound right, for whole phrases.
Lyric Genie is a lyrics editor with a rhyme engine built for songwriting. Select a word or a whole phrase and it finds multi-syllable, slant and phrase rhymes that match how it sounds, not how it's spelled. Rhyme colors show the rhymes in every verse as you write. Free for 30 lookups a day; unlimited with Pro.
Built for the rhymes songs actually use
Most rhyming dictionaries take one word and give you words that end the same way. Lyric Genie takes your phrase, works out which syllables carry the rhyme, and finds words and phrases that match all of them. That's how you find the internal and multi-syllable rhymes that make a line stick.
The same engine runs free at RhymeGold, with 135,000 words and phrases. How the rhyme engine works.
