The following is a list of English words without rhymes, i.e. a list of words in the English language which rhyme with no other English words in the sense that they are pronounced in the same way from the vowel sound of the main stressed syllable onwards.
It is sometimes said that the words orange, purple, and silver are the only words which rhyme with no other words. However, the words sporange, curple (another name for the buttocks, in Scottish, the word for the hindquarters of a horse), Hirple is a British word which means to walk lamely or to hobble, and chilver have been cited as rhymes for these words. That is not to say that there are no rhymeless words, however. There are, in fact, many, including such words as garbage and discombobulate. If one restricts the list to words of just one or two syllables, however, the list is fairly short. What follows is an attempt at such a list.

This is old... Nurple and Furlple. Nurple being the archaic English reference to priming a teat for a sucking child, hence the saying, "she has a purple nurple."
The later ascribed to Pom-Perile Furlple the famous wrestler from the 1970s who made famous the Ahgorpio head crushing maneuver.
At least I tried.

A "Schterpel' is a Bavarian garden tool for harvesting potatoes.
Also "tractor-pull " is not an exact rhyme but could work, as in :
I brought my purple scherpel to the tractor pull.
