Verse Rhyme Analyzer
Paste a few bars. Get a score out of 100 and see your rhyme scheme color-coded — end rhymes, internal rhymes, and multis included.
What is a rhyme scheme?
A rhyme scheme is the pattern your line endings make. Each ending sound gets a letter: when the first two lines rhyme with each other and the next two rhyme with each other, the scheme is AABB. When they alternate, it is ABAB. The letters in the left gutter above show your scheme directly, colored to match the words that create it.
Internal rhymes and multis
Strong verses rhyme inside the line, not just at the end. Internal rhymes are rhyming words placed mid-line, and multis are multisyllable rhymes — two or more syllables matching in a row, sometimes across two words, like pairing a single word with a two-word phrase. The analyzer highlights both with the same color families as your end rhymes, so stacked patterns are visible at a glance.
How the score works
The score out of 100 comes from three parts. End rhymes are worth up to 60 points — every line whose ending rhymes with another line strengthens the backbone, with perfect rhymes worth more than near or slant rhymes. Internal rhymes and multis add up to 30 points based on how densely they appear, with multis weighted extra. Variety adds up to 10 points for weaving multiple rhyme sounds instead of riding one. The same engine that powers the RhymePlug dictionary classifies every word pair, so the analysis matches what you see when you search a word.
