RhymeHamster
A free rhyming dictionary that tutors can use when building phonics, spelling and vocabulary activities. Every perfect rhyme is checked by hand, so word lists don't fill up with the wrong-stress and nonsense matches that computer-generated sites routinely offer. Near rhymes are labelled separately and sit on an adjustable dial, which helps with sound-pattern work where an exact rhyme is too narrow. It also finds rhymes hiding inside longer words, useful for syllable and stress practice. More than 113,000 words, including about ten thousand modern words, names and places the older dictionaries never gathered. It runs in any browser with no login, so it works on the whiteboard or at home.
Editor's notes
Lovely handcrafted site. In addition to being a useful tool for teachers planning phonics work; at higher levels it's ideal for budding poets or lyricists. This is a US site so you may need to allow for some pronunciation differences.
Well worth taking the quick tour (click the❓at the bottom of the screen) and don't miss the wonderful Rhyme of the Day.
