words ending with "-les"?

Question

Hey guys, need ur help. I'm looking for a word ending with "-les" which would rhyme with "Achilles".

Since Achilles' phonetic sound and pronounciation is like "A-ki-lees", I'm looking for a word whose phonetic sound and pronounciation ends with "lees".

Plz help me out.

Answer 1

Actually, to rhyme with Achilles what you need is something that ends with the SOUND: "ILL-ease".

Note that matching the ACCENTED syllable (ILL) is generally a key part of a good rhyme (and has been pretty much ignored by the suggestions others have given).

So, if you want a "perfect rhyme" (matching ALL the sounds from the accented syllable's vowel to the end), that mostly means plural or possessive forms of words who base form ends with something like "-illy"

common nouns: (hill)billies, chilies, chillies, fillies, lilies, sillies, twillies, willies

and some (less useful) proper nouns (names): Antilles, Chile's, Lily's, Milly's, Phillies, Stilley's Tilly's, Willy's


Or you could look at less perfect rhymes. Try something where the VOWELS match (assonance) as well as the final /z/ sound, but with a different consonant in the middle.

For example:
cities, ditties, committees, pities, pretties

A bit more distant -- do the same thing but use a LONG vowel (the English "long e" sound is close relative of the "short i" of Achilles):
series, theories, queries
