rhymes-with

Determines whether two words rhyme with each other

Uses the cmu-pronouncing-dictionary (~1MB) to determine if two words rhyme.

This has the advantage of being much more accurate than algorithmic methods, but the drawback is that the dictionary contains ~130,000 words, so the results may be limited.
