This application gives you access to two rhyming dictionaries: a French dictionary (106 000 words) and an English one (72 000 words). This application will be definitely useful if you are a songwriter: the number of syllables and several options will help you to find the right word that fits to your melody.
Two separate searches are available for both dictionaries:
1. Search for a rhyme
First you need enter a word (minimum two characters) and select the number of syllables (from 1 to 6 and more). As an example, if you are looking for words rhyming with “cheese” in 2 syllables, an alphabetically sorted list of 1 253 words will appear.
Then, you can reduce the number of words found with additional options like "start with", "contain" or "end with". These options are not necessary for the initial search but will be helpful to reduce the number of results.
Based on the previous example, you can search for words rhyming with "cheese" in 2 syllables starting with "br". As a result, a list of 22 words will be displayed.
2. Search for a word
This search gives you the opportunity to list all the words that match one or several criteria which are: "start with", "contain", "end with" and "have x letters".
For example, you can look for words that end with "ion" in the English dictionary. As a result, a list of 1 677 words will be displayed. Then, you can add another option like start with an “a”. The list with be reduced to 132 words. Finally, you can specify “8 letters” in your search parameters and you will finally get a list of 14 words.
This application does not require an internet connection and works offline.
