This first rhyming dictionary was The Manipulus Vocabulorum, published in 1570 by Peter Levins, as it was “necessarie for makers of meeter.” In the 500 years since, rhyming dictionaries have become a critical tool for most people trying to write lyrics, poems, or anything else that rhymes. But for Jeremy Desmon, a teacher and writer of musical theater, even modern digital versions weren’t enough. Or rather, they were more than enough: “ You rhyme the word men, okay? And 100 of them are different kinds of hen. And that’s just what you find online in these dictionaries. And I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t want 78 versions of hen.'” So he made RhymeHamster. Creating his perfect digital rhyming dictionary exposed all the kinds of rhymes, and choices about rhymes, that are possible and that vary by writer and rhyming need: “ I do want you to feel like it’s exhaustive, because it is. But I don’t wanna exhaust you. I want you to feel like it’s a tool, and I want you to feel like I got you.” Some features that make RhymeHamster special: ☂Identities: These aren’t rhymes, but instances where a word contains another word (think enjoy and joy). For the right line, it could be just the right thing. ⚙️The slant rhyme dial: Slant rhymes are almost rhymes, but not all slant rhymes are the same level of almost. Rhyme Hamster’s dial lets you decide how “slanty” you want your results to be. ↕️ Interior rhymes: What if you want to rhyme the middle part of the word, something that Sondheim apparently did all the time? That is a preference you can find rhymes by. Desmon says that what turned out to be a personal project is now something he wants other people to find useful: “ I literally built it for myself. But then I decided that it was kinda cool and I wanted to share it with my students, and they kinda dug it. So I figured I might as well just tell people about it and keep making it better.” |
