Paste a song and every line ending gets a letter and a color, so you see at a glance which lines rhyme, which ones only almost do and which ones are left hanging.
Paste your lyrics and the checker marks the last word of every line with a letter and a color: lines with the same letter rhyme. It names the scheme of each verse and chorus (AABB, ABAB, ABCB, ABBA), tells perfect rhymes from near rhymes and can show internal rhymes. English is read by sound, not spelling.
Songs rhyme by sound: “love” rhymes with “of”, while “love” and “move” only look alike. The checker reads English through the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, so “eyes” and “skies” match the way you sing them, and it marks near rhymes like “time” and “mine” apart, because songs lean on them all the time.

It is the pattern of which line endings rhyme, written with letters: lines that rhyme share a letter. AABB rhymes in pairs, ABAB alternates and ABCB, very common in pop and folk verses, only rhymes lines 2 and 4. Choruses often switch scheme to stand out from the verses.
A perfect rhyme repeats every sound from the last stressed vowel on: night and light, fire and desire. A near rhyme, or slant rhyme, keeps the vowel but changes a consonant: time and mine, baby and crazy. Most songs mix both; the checker marks them differently so you decide.
No. Rhyme makes a line easier to remember and gives the ear a place to land, so it matters most at the end of the chorus and on the hook. A line without a partner is fine when it is on purpose; the checker shows you where they are so it never happens by accident.
Because they sound the same. English is read through the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, not by spelling: eyes and skies, through and blue. Words that are not in the dictionary, like slang or made-up words, are guessed from their spelling, and the checker tells you how many there are.
No. The analysis runs in your browser with the rhyme dictionary’s data; the lyric is not uploaded, stored or added to the page address. When you close the page it is gone, so keep your own copy.
Yes: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Catalan and Italian. Pick the language above the lyric. In Spanish and Portuguese it uses their own terms, rima consonante and rima asonante (toante).
