I take it you already know of tough and bough and cough and dough? Others may stumble, but not you, on hiccough, thorough, laugh and through. Well done! And now you wish, perhaps, to learn of less familiar traps?
Beware of heard, a dreadful word, that looks like beard and sounds like bird. And dead -- it's said like bed not bead -- and for goodness' sake don't call it deed! Watch out for meat and great and threat (They rhyme with suite and straight and debt)
A moth is not the moth in mother, nor both in bother, broth in brother. And here is not a match for there, nor dear and fear for bear and pear. And then there's dose and rose and lose -- just look them up -- and goose and choose, and cork and work and card and ward, and font and front and word and sword, and do and go and thwart and cart -- come, come I've hardly made a start. A dreadful language? Man alive. I mastered it when I was five.

As someone checking out the dictionary to expand my vocabulary from time to time when I'm bored, I bet I fall into even less familiar traps now and then when it comes to rhymes. More examples I can think of; Rule, ghoul (I actually thought this word rhymed with goal a few years ago, because you know.. soul did), cruel, dual, school... Stealing, feeling, ceiling..
Whoever made up the rules for how you spell your shit; FUCK YOU. This is ridiculous. To everyone else reading my stuff.. I'd appreciate it a lot and give you free munchies if you could point it out to me if my shit doesn't rhyme but it looks like it could on paper.
