I am currently using an app, called Word Hippo. It is also a thesaurus. Haven’t tried MasterWriter, but have heard it recommended a lot.

Cole Porter would have been much less successful without Clement Wood. That’s my favorite RD, too. I don’t like Sammy Cahn’s RD but I love Clement Wood’s RD. You have to find one that works well for you. Stephen Sondheim always looked for a list of good rhymes before actually starting to write a lyric. Good rhymes are part of the structure of your song. Listeners sense where the rhymes will happen and they wait for them as if they were waiting for a punch line. They appreciate a good rhyme. It’s a fun way to flex your writer’s muscle, as long as you focus on serving the song.
