It is a common misconception that Orange is one of the most common words in English that does not rhyme with any other word. The Wiktionary defines a rhyme as:
"Two words are rhymes if they are stressed on the same syllable, counting from the end of the words, and are pronounced identically from the vowel in their stressed syllable to the end."
Thus, for a word to rhyme with orange it does not need to have the full sound 'orange' at the end of it, it only needs the sound 'range'. Though some pronounce it 'Ohr-enge', the European pronunciation is 'Ohr-inge', meaning that any word ending with the sound 'inge' will rhyme with orange. There are, however, two lesser-known 'complete' pronunciations. Blorenge is one, and it is a mountain range and town in Wales. The second is Gorringe, which is a surname.
For those who do not believe it rhymes, the closest approximation is door-hinge, although torn hinge, or inch, a wrench, and flange have also been suggested.

that is declared that no observe rhymes with ORANGE. there's a musical recording Rhymes With Orange by Mario Grigorov. there's a sketch with an similar call by Hillary fee. Witchiepoo sang There Ain't No Rhyme for Oranges on H. R. Pufnstuf. Glenn Anderson comments a Canadian band said as Rhymes With Orange had 2 hit recordings, Marvin and Toy Trains. besides the undeniable fact that, BLORENGE (a a million,833 feet. hill close to Abergavenny, Wales) is given in O. V. Michaelsen's e book words At Play. SPORANGE feels like it rhymes, besides the undeniable fact that the interest, it really is short for sporangium, is suggested spuh-RANJ. The examples above meet the requirement that the most suitable 2 syllables rhyme with ORANGE, because the most suitable sylllable is unstressed. If we require purely that the most suitable syllable of the interest journey, then there are diverse different applicants for words which rhyme with orange. as an example, Ng Boon Leong says that as English is suggested in Singapore, decision, STONEHENGE, and DERANGE all rhyme with ORANGE. Bruce Salvisberg says the French given call SOLANGE rhymes with orange. Bruce Todd factors out that the most suitable syllable of CITRANGE is suggested identically with the most suitable syllable of ORANGE, and W3 exhibits yet another pronunciation of SYRINGE it really is also similar contained in the most suitable syllable. Ian Eiloart delivers BINGE, recoil, HINGE, M*NGE, IMPINGE, SINGE, TINGE, and *****, and he delivers this little poem: Ted Hughes might want to continually *****, "there's no rhyme i imagine for orange" yet wait, we misheard, For those were his words, "there's no wine to drink for a binge"

There's a hill near Cardiff called the Borringe, and a place in Sussex called Goringe, but they only work if you've got a South London accent. Now write your own limerick.

Absolutely diddly squat. Nothing rhymes with orange, its the same with purple apparently though I've never spent that much time on it to be honest.
