What does RHYME mean in Scrabble?
noun
A correspondence of sound between the endings of words or lines, especially in verse.
A rhyme occurs when two words share the same sound from the last stressed vowel onward, such as cat and hat, and poets use this echo to bind lines together and make them memorable. Rhyme can appear at the ends of lines, called end rhyme, or within a single line, called internal rhyme. Nursery rhymes and song lyrics rely heavily on rhyme because the repeated sound makes the words easier for children to learn and recall.
