What rhymes with chocolate?

It depends on how you say chocolate. For a three-syllable delivery such as choc-a-lit, a phrase like talk a bit can be a near-rhyme candidate. For the shorter choc-lit pronunciation, the syllable pattern changes. The challenge lets you compare the answers instead of assuming one pronunciation fits everyone.

Can several words rhyme with one word?

Yes. Butterfly / cut a guy is an example of a phrase rhyme: the sounds stretch across word boundaries. Its fit depends on stress, accent and delivery. A partial ending match is different from matching the whole sound sequence; each answer card identifies that difference.

Is there one right answer?

A close sound match can still feel awkward in a lyric. Judge the pair aloud and keep the phrasing that suits your voice. Read our multisyllabic rhyme guide or near and slant rhyme guide for more examples.
