Subject: A Question

First off, love your site, and mission. You just might already BE the best online rhyming dictionary, though as you said there's still work to do!

Question: Is it possible, or will it be possible soon, to restrict searches by criteria? For example, I can search on all words ending in 'al, but can I search for just the two-syllable words that end in al ones?

Also, just throwing this out there, here's an idea for making it so that everyone leaves your site with an answer. Allow all sorts of search criteria, such as parts of speech, and then (this would be the hard part) by category, like animal, tool, vehicle, etc.

Thanks much,
David

Answer

David,

Excellent advice, thank you very much for this information. yes, I am working on every search criteria possible including each you have mentioned. The website is getting amazing traffic, and has exponential growth potential. I am having a hard time finding sponsors for the website which will allow me to work on the website every day, thus, removing the hour a day, couple hours a day development.

The categorized search criteria is actually in the works, been working on it for quite some time, and yes, it is extremely difficult to automate this process. So, in the future, I will actually be relying and hoping for much user activity to categorize this information. Please, tell others, post a link to the website, anything you can to help the growth. Much appreciated, and thank you very much for the email and your advice. It will be more than taken into consideration and used as a guide to how users use the website.

Thank You,
What Rhymes With

I love so many things about the site. It goes into so many other related areas that are helpful as examples; sounding & pronounced like categories being separated from each other, rhyme types, r. t. tips, the many different schemes, and popular rhymed words just to name a few. There is so much information that it can lead to being lost and confused like in a maze. The sheer volume of fact is the sites greatest asset & liability. In the former category it's simply comprehensive+++. I think that should lead to a change in emphasis of your mission statement. No longer is this a general reference site for rhymes but a teaching & learning site-and educational site. (Updated Our Mission Statement To Reflect This Suggestion)

With large amounts of information, headings, sub-headings, etc., organization is paramount. Too many choices slows the process. The goal is efficient and fast allocation of information. Focus on the main topic-'what rhymes with', front & center, tallest & eye catching. Then smaller headings for other categories like schemes, popular rhymes, (how about a place for ...Coming Soon...), sounding, etc.. Then each heading should lead to their own dedicated pages. All the choices along the right margin have too much info in them-'keep it simple stupid'. That keeps their attention.

I could not find anywhere to leave feedback. There was an email address in one place and a tab, but the tab's link didn't help. When I click on a tab of 'suggestions', I expect to be taken to a box I can populate.

Lastly two examples of losing interest in the answer because it was too wordy & complex, with too many choices, too much detail, and the biggest sin of all- wrong answers!

I needed to find words that rhymed with 'eleven' and 'can'. First I got 'eleven', 'eleven', heaven', 'electric', 'seven', 'element', 'electricity', 'given', and 'Elena'. The word doesn't need re-listing & repeating, many of those words don't even freakin' rhyme!, and there were paragraphs/figures/votes/?s for me in-between each word. "Keep it simple stupid", I don't want to scroll down ten times to get what should look like a column of 5th grade spelling words.

'Can' resulted in generating the same lengthy list of votes, ?s for me, trivia, a PhD dissertation or two, and figures placed in-between another list with mostly wrong answers. Other than that it was wonderful. The list follows; 'can', 'American', 'an', 'Canada', 'China', 'gone', 'come', 'candy', 'canon', 'queen'. What happened to "Dan man ran tan.", "Jan! Fan van.", "Nan began.", and "Pan?".

Seriously, it's great, but needs some polish. You really should be proud.

(Confidential Information). Reply not added to this page due to some confidential information attached to the reply I sent to Webb, MD. To understand what this project is looking to achieve, please read my about us page which describes in as much detail as possible, the future of What Rhymes With. As for incorrect rhymes, I apologize that the organization of rhyming words is not accurate - however, it is in process. Right now, the rhyming dictionary includes all 14 rhyme types, instead of just "perfect rhymes" as most people enquire about. But, don't you worry - this rhyming dictionary is going to have filter options for such needs available very soon.

Thank you very much Webb, MD for your tremendous feedback and support.
