what rhymes with helped?

Answer 1

If you absolutely must have a "perfect rhyme", there are very few possiblities:

* whelped, yelped

(You might add prefixes to these and to "helped", but this may not do much for you -- rhyming 'helped' with 'unhelped' is not usually considered very good poetry.)

"skelped" is dialectal slang, so not useful for most audiences: "kelp" is a standard English word, but "kelped" seems to be a rarer (dialectal?) one... again, less useful.

If this is for a poem, you almost certainly will need a "near rhyme", in which MOST of the sounds match pretty closely. Since the final "d" sounds like "t" in this case, and the "p" is only lightly pronounced, words ending in the sound /-elt/ will usually work rather well:

* belt, dealt, dwelt, felt, gelt, knelt, melt, pelt, smelt, spelt, svelte, welt

Also pretty close:

* health, stealth, wealth

And you might be able to do without the /L/ sound (but keep the rest):

* accept, adept, crept, except, inept, kept, leapt, slept, stepped, swept, wept


These more distant rhymes might sometimes work (you'll have to try them it context to see):

* elk, whelk, yelk
* held, meld, weld, yelled
* built, hilt, jilt, lilt, silt, tilt, wilt, bilked, milked (in some dialects better than others, depending on how strongly you contrast short i and short e)
* scalped (in other dialects short a and short e are close)
______________

Finally, if none of this works, do consider reworking the line, to get something at the end for which you can find a good rhyme that fits what you're trying to say. One option is to use a synonym. So, instead of "helped" you might find a way to use "aid", rhyming with at least:

obeyed, cascade, fade, flayed, afraid, glade, grayed, jade, laid, made, maid, grenade, serenade, paid, played, prayed, preyed, raid, parade, masquerade, assayed, crusade, betrayed, shade, stayed, strayed, swayed, evade, invade, weighed

Jingle? Intermingle?

Answer 3

scalped, yelped...

are you writing a v-day poem? if so, you could do a slight rime and use "felt" - it doesn't exactly rhyme, but it may be more useful thn words that rhyme with "helped."
