Welcome to Day 26 of my July Trivia posts.*
Trivia: No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.
When I was a kid and needed to rhyme something, I reached for my rhyming dictionary. Nowadays, I ask Google. (I still have the dictionary though, because you never know.)
I entered each of the above words into rhymedb.com. What’s cool is they provide answers that are exact and are similar. Month, orange, and silver had similar-sounding words, but purple generated no similarities.
So this trivia is true. If you want your poem to rhyme, don’t end it with these words. I’m curious if there are other words with no rhyme. Unless I stumble upon them, I’ll never know since I’m not just going to stick words into rhymedb.com all day.
I give this trivia a 10 out of 10. Rhyming non-rhyming words is fun.
*I’m doing something hard (for me) in July that I don’t want to talk about until August (in case I fail.) This something takes a lot of time, so I’m simplifying my July posts. I’m using a list of trivia that Aunt Patti emailed me. Each day, I will explore a trivia fact and bring you the truth, not just the clickbait. I might even rate the trivia. I think this will be fun because I love exploring new topics and sharing them with you. I hope you learn something too. If you do, why not share it with a friend. One of my goals is to get more readers, and word of mouth is a great way to do that. Many thanks.
