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.

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".

Each entry is produced by individually translating and explaining the terms involved.
