### What Is This version of WikiRhymer? (WikiRhymer® 2.0) WikiRhymer® 2.0
is Version 2 of the WikiRhymer® online rhyming dictionary. ([See original
WikiRhymer® site here](http://wikirhymer.wikispaces.com/).) WikiRhymer® was
originally designed as a wiki to allow users to edit and add rhymes. The
new WikiRhymer® 2.0 maintains that functionality, but the site has been
streamlined to provide far faster results. As such, the detailed
information explaining rhymes and rhyming has been omitted but is still
available at the [original
WikiRhymer®](http://www.bestrhymingdictionary.com). WikiRhymer® 2.0 has
also been optimized for use on most cellphones. ### How to Use WikiRhymer®
2.0 **Rhyme Set Organization**: There are four different sections to a
Rhyme Set (that correspond with the Rhyme Type links (Pure, End, Near, and
Near End) discussed above): 1) Pure rhymes, as the name implies are perfect
rhymes.
<p class="center"><img src="/images/howto/image5.png"/></p>
The blue font indicates that the words are linked. They are linked to their
definitions in [Vocabulary.com](http://www.vocabulary.com/). 2) The next
Section, “End Rhymes,” are rhymes where the “end” or last syllable of the
words rhyme with the end syllable of the target word (the word for which
you are searching).
<p class="center"><img src="/images/howto/end_rhymes.png"/></p>
As above, some of these words are in a green font and some in a white font.
**The green font signifies that the word is a “pointer” or link to a whole
Rhyme Set of words that are near-, or end-, or near end-rhymes,
respectively with your target word.** The words in white font are what we
call “orphans,” meaning they do not have any pure rhymes in our database.
3) “Near Rhymes” are words that are close,
<p class="center"><img src="/images/howto/image8.png"/></p>
but not exact rhymes with the target word (like time/line or coat/code). 4)
“Near End Rhymes” are words whose end syllables are close,
<p class="center"><img src="/images/howto/image2.png"/></p>
but not exact rhymes with the target word. Many of these words will seem to
be poor rhymes to your target word, but when all else fails, some may be a
workable rhyme, so we included them and let you make that decision. One
other thing you need to know about how we organize Rhyme Sets is that the
“paragraphs” or blocks of words you see, no matter what color, are
organized by number of syllables.
<p class="center"><img src="/images/howto/pure_rhymes.png"/></p>
For instance, in the above Rhyme Set, words in the first paragraph have one
syllable, the second paragraph, two syllablles, and so on. If there are any
[acronyms](http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/acronym.html) or [Proper
Nouns](http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/proper-noun.html) in the Rhyme
Set, we list them last within each Section as follows:
<p class="center"><img src="/images/howto/image3.png"/></p>
**Rhyming Phrases**: You will notice in each Section ("Pure," End," "Near,"
and "Near End," there is a vertical list of phrases, whose last word rhymes
with the target word (note: we picked a different rhyme set for the graphic
below from the graphics above. The list below are phrases that rhyme with
“-ation”).
<p class="center"><img src="/images/howto/phrases.png"/></p>
When all else fails (or sometimes as a first resort!!), using a phrase that
rhymes with your target word can add a really cool flavor to your song or
poem. **If You Want to Submit a New Rhyme**: If you can not find a word in
WikiRhymer, but you know it has pure rhymes, submit it to us by clicking
the “Add/Edit” button which is located at the top right edge of each Pure
Rhymes page.
