Rhymes

Here are some sets of words that rhyme: 


	bat: cat, fat, hat, mat, pat, rat, sat

	bake: cake, fake, lake, make, rake, take

	bun: fun, gun, nun, pun, sun, run
All these words are made from the same letter patterns and the only difference between each member in each set is the letter the word begins with. These are simple rhymes, but words that rhyme don't have to have the same letter pattern: 

	fake - steak		gun - done	 do - stew

	blue - few		pain - Maine	nail - pale
Each pair of words rhymes, but uses a different letter pattern to make the same ending sound.

Some words which have the same letter pattern, do not rhyme: 


	DO NOT RHYME:

	put - nut		grown - down

        lone - one		push - flush
So, words that rhyme share the same ending sound pattern (but not necessarily the same letter pattern).
