What Does Rhyming Mean?

A simple breakdown of how sounds match in English.

Rhyming occurs when the ending sounds of two or more words match perfectly. In American English, a true rhyme requires the final stressed vowel and all subsequent sounds to be identical.

1. The Vowel Sound

In "four," the entire word acts as a single stressed syllable with the "or" sound (/ɔr/). Any word that perfectly rhymes with it must share this exact vowel sound.

2. The Consonant Sound

The word ends with the "r" consonant sound (/r/). Perfect rhymes must end in this exact same /r/ sound, like "door" or "more."

3. Spelling Doesn't Matter

Rhyme is about sound, not letters. "Four" ends in "-our," while "more" ends in "-ore," but they rhyme perfectly. Conversely, "flour" looks similar but has a completely different vowel sound (/aʊər/).
