The Penguin Rhyming Dictionary

The Penguin Rhyming Dictionary is an indispensible companion for rhymesters everywhere: from lyric poets to limerick writers; from songwriters to composers of commercial jingles and slogans.

Compiled with the assistance of a computer The Penguin Rhyming Dictionary is based on phonetic principles and is not, like many of its predecessors, merely based on the spelling of words. Hence, rhymes such as trite, indict, Fahrenheit, can be found together in the one group whereas words such as bough, cough and rough are not falsely forced together.

The rhyming words are arranged in numbered groups while every rhyming word in the main part of the text is included in an alphabetical index at the end of the book.
