Answer 3

The rhyme on orange

Ignore what's down there. O V Michaelsen writes:

To my knowledge, there is no common word in English that rhymes with MONTH; but it was found that the obscure word grunth, an alternate spelling of “granth,” rhymes perfectly in one of its pronunciations.

In Words at Play (1998) and the revised editions: the Word Play Almanac (2002) and Never Odd or Even—Palindromes, Anagrams & Other Tricks Words Can Do (2005), resorting to proper nouns, I provided rhymes for the words ORANGE, PURPLE, and SILVER.

BLORENGE is the name of a 1,833-foot hill—one of seven in the vicinity of Abergavenny, Wales. The name Henry Honeychurch GORRINGE was found by George F. Hubbard, of New York City (cited in Paul Dickson’s Names). HIRPLE is a British word meaning “to limp”; CURPLE means hindquarters or buttocks, especially of a horse; CHILVER (British dialect) means “ewe lamb” or “ewe mutton.” It is also a surname, as is WILVER, which was also the given name (forename) of baseball’s Dornell (“Willie”) Stargell (1940-2001).

ORANGE, PURPLE, SILVER, AND MONTH

In spite of what you might have heard,
That claim of no rhymes is absurd.
For a month I had dreamt
By my thousandth attempt
That I’d find at least one for each word.

In honor of these discoveries, I present this two-part limerick.

There once was a dunce known as Orange
Who got his toe caught in a door hinge.
Said he, turning purple,
Proceeding to hirple,
“Now how will I get back to Blorenge?”

I resolved the story with a verse using the other difficult rhyme.

A passerby named Mr. Wilver,
Who traded his horse for a chilver,
Offered Orange the lamb,
But he mounted a ram
And rode home yelling, "Oh, Hiyo Silver!"

Other near-rhymes for "orange" include sporange, (pronounced "spe-RANJ" or SPOR-anj" [short for sporangium]), more range, and far range.

--"Stubborn Rhymes," O. Michaelsen, Word Ways, May 2001

In grammar school, just killing time, I wrote this hackneyed double rhyme:

"This purple bird is dumb an’ lazy,
And his chirp’ll drive one crazy."

(I was excused for this verse because of my youth and inexperience.)

After I’d written my limericks on difficult rhymes, I discovered this noble attempt by an unidentified writer, using the plural form of "orange."

An eccentric young man who loved oranges
Extracted their juice with syringes.
His doors used to squeak,
But now they just leak
’cause he’s put all the juice in the door hinges.
The word that rhymes on Orange

For centuries have humanity sought the rhyme on orange, a long lost word that rhymes with orange.

The word, the orange rhyme, is used in everyday-speak. Gaining over 100 millions of hits on Google, it cannot be ignored. The word that rhymes with orange is so common it is seen past.

Challenge.

Challenge. Orange - challenge. They do rhyme. With the rhyme mystery solved, we can analyze the circumstances. Whole websites have been devoted to the sole purpose of finding the rhyme on orange, or using phrases like "rhyme on orange" in order to create a paradox.
But do they rhyme?

Orange - challenge or orange - lozenge are rhymes, but the word rhyme defines a very broad category of word pairs. A rhyme can be divided into one of three large categories; tail rhyme, consonance or assonance. The one most think of when they hear the word rhyme is the tail rhyme. Tail rhymes are divided into six sub-categories:

* masculine: A rhyme where the last syllable is stressed in both words.
* femine: A rhyme where the second last syllable is stressed in both words.
* dactylic: A rhyme where the third last syllable is stressed in both words.
* triple: A rhyme where both words contain three syllables, and both syllables are stressed equally.
* imperfect: A rhyme where the words are stressed on different syllables.
* perfect: A rhyme where the words are stressed on the same syllables.

Orange has no perfect rhyme in the English language, though the two above, challenge and lozenge, are imperfect rhymes.
Orange is not alone

The word orange is not the only English word without a perfect rhyming partner, though it is half of them. The other word is silver. Many words make up imperfect rhymes with silver, e.g. fever, lever and server, but none makes a perfect rhyme.
