Top 53 words that rhyme with Orange!
I was about to tell you about this ingeniously cool website I just found called “53” whose motto is something like “simple and nonsensical; this really is a cool website (although there could be more than half a dozen articles – come on Mr.53 pace up would ya? There’s people here who are interested in your crazy rants), where you’ll find lots of things that will assist you in your daily enjoyment, such as the Official 53 drinking game.
Anyway, while I was definitely impressed with this crazy website, I got somewhat disappointed when I found this specific article called “Words that Rhyme with Orange“. At first, I was exhilarated I would finally get to see such a list. You see, I’m not merely a wordsfreak, mind you. The thing is there’s a popular misconception that no words rhyme in the English language rhyme with Orange. I’m not really sure where this comes from (perhaps that Monkey Island game from LucasArts). Anyway, I was pretty confident in my wordsfreaking abilities, so I figured I’d make a top 10 words that rhyme with Orange. Then I decided I’d really up the ante, and I figured I might as well go for 53.
So, as I proceeded with unwavering confidence towards the resolution of the aforementioned list, my first logical step was to look around in the top google results for “online rhyme dictionary“. Not surprisingly – as the bunch of smart-ass unemployed English majors out there will easily verify – it was of no avail:
Words and phrases that rhyme with orange: (0 results)
Sorry, no perfect rhymes were found.Then I figured it was time for in-depth research, so I outright asked google for “list of words that rhymes with orange”. While I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I did fin an enlightening lead, within this english major website. According to “the experts”: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.
Still I won’t give up so easily.
I mentioned back before my resolution was unwavering, and I’m holding on to that. So I’ll proceed (hopefully assisted by you people staring at the screen with a puzzled look, right now) to make my own…

HONESTLY, guys, most of you are being total jerks, completely obnoxious, and acting like you’ve got something better to do than read the list that YOU CHOSE to come and read. Get off your high horses, you’re acting like you’re three and clogging up cyberspace with your idiocy.
As for the author of this list, very nice! Great work! Hoorah for your diligence, and for putting up with the moronic odium that is the stupid people who posted in this. *Bows to you* Great work
Door hinge almst ryhmes with orange. If you have an accent you should have made that ryhme
Thankyou Crazy Bard! It’s people like you (with more than just half a brain) who make me want to keep this website up (-;
You really did a good job expressing what’s going on in the comments section, here!
Much obliged,
P.
There is one word i found that rymes which is sporange ( the botanical term for a fern or similer plant)
loved this article!
Grunge rhymes best with Orange.
Hmm, a lot depends on accents. The ways you can pronounce the word ending:
Runj
Rinj
Renj
You may notice some of the words on the list DO rhyme with these. Two examples:
Bunge (Bunj)
Door-hinge (Hinj)
I can’t see one for Renj though. I guess “bench” would nearly rhyme with it, vocally…
