Rhyming Dictionaries

If a rhyming dictionary isn't part of your day-to-day life, you may think all rhyming dictionaries are the same. Actually, they're not. Different rhyming dictionaries group and organize entries in different ways, and some are arranged more intuitively than others.

As time permits, I'll be reviewing the rhyming dictionaries in my collection, and offering up the pros and cons of each. In the meantime, I'll share with you the fact that the rhyming dictionary I've used most over the years is The New Comprehensive American Rhyming Dictionary by Sue Young.

A question for the rhymers in my readership: what's your favorite rhyming dictionary?
