Sporange - “Sporange” isn’t in most dictionaries. It does appear in Webster’s Third Unabridged and in the enormous Oxford English Dictionary, both of which say it’s a variant of “sporangium,” a botanical term.

Door hinge does not count, in my opinion.

Try to find rhymes for purple, silver, and month.

"Orange is one of those words that famously has nothing perfectly to rhyme with it. The other one is silver. However, the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary does show both these words as having half-rhymes (such as lozenge with orange and salver with silver).

The principle of a half-rhyme in these cases is quite simple. Whereas a full and stressed rhyme (e.g. hand / stand) or even an unstressed rhyme (such as handing / standing) contain vowels that are common to both words, a half-rhyme like orange / lozenge or silver / salver (technically speaking, pararhymes) has obvious differences between vowels in certain syllables."

So there you go, from the dictionary masters themselves!

Although "forage, porridge, door-hinge, score bench" have all been accused of rhyming with orange.

No one word in the English language rhymes with the word orange. But there is a set of two words, door hinge. What word did you find?

Nothing rhymes with orange. Or silver.

Really? I've always heard there were none. Is it English? I've also heard there are no rhymes for "silver."
