For April's Poetry Month, I created a d1000 tool to roll for sets of random rhyming words.
It has taken a month and a half to get it to the point of release after 6 major revisions. It grew from 30 pages, to 40 pages, and finally 51 pages during the final weeks of adding new material.
This is a one-time 51 page PDF list of rhyming sets numbered 1 to 1000. About 20,000 words, a few used in more than one set. Sets average 5 to 20 words. They range from 3 to 658 words. No other rhyming lists are planned at this time.
Rhyming Fuel is a 1000 rhyme-word sets on a table mostly reverse alphabetized by ending and numbered for d1000 rolls. The rhyme sets are mostly American English based spelling.
Examples
#56 contagious, courageous, outrageous, umbrageous, advantageous, disadvantageous, ages
#165 arch, march, parch, starch, countermarch, larch, cornstarch, démarche, exarch
#451 cringe, fringe, hinge, singe, springe, tinge, twinge, infringe, binge, dinge, tinge, impinge, infringe, lunatic fringe
#715 forth, fourth, north, worth, due north, henceforth, thenceforth, compass north, east by north, in the north, to the north
#961 gushy, mushy, rushy, slushy, blushy
Examples of rhymes being in a nursery rhyme and a play dialogue.
Bat, bat,
Come under my hat,
And I'll give you a slice of bacon;
And when I bake
I'll give you a cake
If I am not mistaken.
Mother Goose, “Bat, Bat”
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Second Witch: Macbeth: Act IV, scene 1
Rhyme Words – A rhyme has similar repeated or corresponding sounds in the final syllables of two or more words, primarily used in songs and poems at the end of a verse or line.
Rhymes are useful to help construct a more poetic or musical song and poetry to a scene. The function of a rhyme is to create a repeating pattern that is pleasant to hear. Rhymes also aid in memorization.
Although written as a solo rpg accessory, this product is also a stand alone tool ready—it takes zero conversion to use as a GM tool to help generate scene or dialogue keywords. It is part of the Clawed SRC Accessory ™ and Grammar Fuel ™ brands.

Version update or plans
V1.01 changed one thing. I took a chunk of words ending in -y from words that rhyme with "die", a
long "I" sound and moved it to "ee" ending words since most of that list were words like "agony" rather than words like "crucify".planned for V1.02 I notice that in #985 "trad route" should be "trade route".
