how to pull more rhymes?

[incandescentman]

This is incredible. However, it looks like the list of rhymes that it pulls is quite limited.

If I enter the word, "air," for instance, it gives me:

kitchenware ere their there where care bear fair hair share chair pair rare wear bare

But there are many many rhymes (that are also common words) that do not appear: aware, despair, impair, billionaire...

Is Tranquillity artificially limiting the number of rhymes it shows me? Is there any way I can remove this limiter?

Hey, thanks for the interest!

I've actually just started re-writing this entire thing from scratch. I'll push out a WIP branch in a couple days.

Right now, it's artificially restricted to the first 15 best rhymes. I think it might make sense to expose more on demand. I could look into adding either a "load more" button or maybe making the rhymes and infinitely scrollable list (well, finite up to the number of rhymes we found). I'm open to other ideas as well.

Wow, that would be amazing. Thank you!

Other ideas:

1. Sort rhymes according to number of syllables in the word.
2. An option to include not just single words, but common phrases that also rhyme. So if you were looking for a rhyme for "air," you could optionally display rhyming phrases e.g. "polar bear" "nom de guerre" "solar flare"
3. Search by scansion

(#3) might be too difficult, but if you're looking to extend this, it would certainly be useful to be able to search not just by rhyme, but also by scansion/meter (syllable count + which syllable the emphasis falls on).

Example: Suppose I am looking for a word that is an anapest (a three-syllable word where the emphasis falls on the last syllable, i.e. "apprehend" is an anapest, "decorate" is not). It would be great to be able to query a scansion dictionary to be given a list of matches.

A combined rhyme/scansion dictionary would be a killer app. So that if, let's say, I wanted (1) an anapest that (2) rhymes with "hair," I could query that, and be given a list of anapests that rhyme with "hair" (e.g. "billionaire" "debonair" "laissez-faire") but leaves out non-anapests (e.g. "leisurewear").

But I know (#3) is complicated. For now just seeing the complete list of rhymes would be great!
