Basic Queries - Searching

The main drop down options are there for easy queries by users, such as rhyming a word or phrase, rhyming numbers, finding words with a certain number of syllables, vowels, consonants or letters, and finding words with a set of unique characters.

Rhyming A Number

We have added the feature for you to rhyme numbers, when selected the rhyme a number in the drop down, and entering any multiple digit number (21+) with or without comma's, the system will automatically interpret the number you have entered and put it into text format with a maximum number listed below. I remember my math teacher in elementary indicating the word "and" when saying a number is incorrect, so I have decided to remove the word "and" from any number interpretation so "One Hundred and Two" shows proper mathematical linguistics of "One Hundred Two". If I am incorrect and you can state your source for proof that I am incorrect, I will be glad to re-add the "and" statement within large number interpretations. Email support@whatrhymeswith.com

Number rhyming range is 21 to the maximum number of 999,999,999,999 (Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Billion Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Million Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Nine). Why anyone would rhyme this number blows my mind, I believe you can simply rhyme the word ninety or nine to get your answer, however, I found this number interpretation programming to be an extremely useful tool even for myself, so I left my work for converting numbers into words and left it for use by anyone. I hope you enjoy! One bug is due to the large amount of words such a massive number uses, you will lose functionality and lose the access to many buttons on the webpage, just click your back button to get functionality back.

Examples

• 21 (Lowest Number Interpreted) = Twenty One
• 232 = Two Hundred Thirty Two
• 1,232 = One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Two
• 10,735 = Ten Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Five
• 100,010,735 = One Hundred Million Ten Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Five
• 999,999 = Nine Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Nine

Exact Characters - *May produce low results*

By choosing Yes on the Exact option, you are enhancing the Specific Character search by telling the system to provide you with words that rhyme with your initial query and must contain exactly these unique letters. An example is Life, if we were to place "life" in the search bar, type "are" in the "Must have these characters" and choose "Yes" under Exact, you will retrieve words that follow the following rules:

• Rhyme with life
• Contain letters "efil"
• ONLY contains the unique letters "aer"
