Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Actually, "orange" rhymes with "Blorenge," which is an obscure English word. (Source: Wikipedia.)

That, however, is the "picky" answer, and probably would not count if we were playing bar trivia. :)

That Wikipedia page has a list of English words that are still in use today, but lack perfect rhymes. (Many words are "close" to rhyming, but are not perfect.)

Some examples of modern-English words that do not perfectly rhyme with others include "kiln," "gulf," and "wolf," though these are only examples of one-syllable words (we have other, longer words that lack rhyming companions, which are also listed on that page).

Blorenge is the name of a place, not a word. This particular question seems to be asking about rhyming with another word.

"Orange" and "Blorenge" rhyme phonetically, but not in their spelling. Does that still count?

In some cases, yep! Perfect rhymes, as explained at the Wikipedia page I cited: "...are pronounced in the same way from the vowel sound of the main stressed syllable onwards."

SOMETIMES, however, these words wouldn't count because of the different spelling patterns.

Albanian, I know that "Blorenge" is a proper noun. Nonetheless, proper nouns are words. Also, as I already noted, that was the "picky" answer - I then went on to give a list of words that aren't proper nouns and, therefore, are more suitable to the discussion.

There are three; "orange", "silver" and "purple".

Hmmm... I've known that for as long as I can remember, but I only just noticed they're all colours! :p

There are lots of words with no rhyme, not just one. They are called refractory rhymes.
