About shots
Shots is the plural rappers write, so it gets its own page instead of sitting under shot. It is one syllable closing on a t that runs straight into an s, which is why spots, lots and knots land dead on it while drops and blocks only lean close. Plenty of shots rhyming words hide behind that s: add it to the whole -ot family and gunshots, jackpots, squats and slingshots come with it. The other half of this page is the singular. Shot on its own opens up got, hot, forgot and thought, and most people searching shots rhymes want both lists without knowing it. Both are here in full, so nothing sends you to a second page to finish the bar.
Rhyming with shots
The ones people actually ask.
What are the best shots rhymes for a verse?
Gunshots, spots and knots do the most work, because each one already means something on its own. Gunshots carries the whole picture in one word. Knots covers a roll of cash and being tied up in something, so the same rhyme can go two ways in the same verse. Plots and squats both hold up when the line is about a place.
Do shot and shots have the same rhyming words?
No, and that catches people out. Shot ends on a t, shots ends on a t plus an s, so each takes its own list. Shot rhymes with got, hot, not and forgot. Shots rhymes with spots, lots and gunshots. Both lists are on this page, because you probably want the one you did not type.
Where do the rest of the shots rhyming words hide?
In the compounds. Every word in the -ot family takes an s, so gunshots, jackpots, potshots, crackpots and slingshots all land on shots exactly, and a short list stops before it reaches them. What is missing from this page is the surnames and the spellings nobody writes, not the real words.
Does shots rhyme with thoughts?
Close enough to use, and plenty do. The dictionary files thoughts under a slightly different vowel, so it sits in the More rhymes block rather than the exact list, but the two land the same in most American accents. Bought, caught and brought work the same way against shot.
Does shots rhyme with opps?
Close, not exact. Both hold the same short o and both end in s, but opps stops on a p first and shots stops on a t. That makes it one of the most usable near rhymes on the page, especially since the two words turn up in the same kind of bar anyway.
