McGill English Dictionary of Rhyme 1.1 for Mac

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Whether you re a poet, a rapper, or a marketing writer, there will come a time when inspiration leaves you, and this is where the McGill English Dictionary of Rhyme can help. Operating the program's somewhat drab, nonresizeable interface is a snap. You simply enter a word in the search box, and the application instantly displays rhyming terms in one of three columns. The first column is for standard, straight-up rhymes; the second is for rhyming phrases; and the third is for Roundex rhymes, or words that sound similar but don't actually rhyme. While the app's feature set is rather small, you will find a dictionary and an option for displaying all three types of rhymes in one scheme. Anyone who routinely works with words will probably want to keep this freebie around.
