First, the LONG list from the first answer-er rests on a big mistake -- assuming that all you need to match is the FINAL syllable (which, you can see, would be easy). But, in fact, rhyme is generally expected to match sounds beginning with the vowel of the syllable with the main ACCENT (and must be accented on the same syllable). So, in this case, you need something that matches the "ED" part too.


There are no standard "perfect" rhymes, in every sound matches EXACTLY. But a coined word like "bedward" would qualify... and it you're writing humorous verse that might be just fine.

Some other options from that approach, but probably not that usable:

breadward, redward, shedward, Fred-ward!

Another approach is to use two-word expressions, the first a word with a final accented "-ED" sound, the second the word "word".

dead word, dread word, head word, pled word, read word, said word, spread word

----------------------------

But if you need more options, it's usually perfectly fine to use a "NEAR rhyme", in which MOST of the sounds match (esp. the vowels and the final consonant(s)).

So, for instance, the following might work (same ending & vowels match):

leftward
westward
sent word
heav'nward

redbird
dead/led herd, head nerd, read third

bettered, fettered, lettered
entered
checkered
leopard, peppered, shepherd
levered, severed, endeavored

Allowing for a slight change in the final sound (/t/ for /d/, which only differs on using the voice):

effort
expert
red shirt/skirt/dirt, head hurt

Words That Rhyme With Edward

It depends on how you pronounce 'Edward'. When you say it, does it rhyme with 'wood' or 'ward' or 'word'?

Also how much do you want to rhyme. Whole last syllable or 'ard' or just the final consonant.

Anyway, here's a couple that should fit in any case.

Howard
coward
homeward
inward
outward
onward
backward
forward

I dunno, anything that ends with word. Lead word, red word, fed word... shedward! towards the shed!
so far, of the people who've answered, it seems only "red turd" does it... the other two don't seem to have true rhymes, they are just ending in "ward" or "ed" which doesn't quite sound the same to me...
