Rhyming word list

[lookagain]

Not including the word "ate" itself, see if you can post a list of at least 24 one-syllable (American) English words*
that rhyme with the word "ate."




* These are not to be proper names.



A suggestion is that you use no more than 30 minutes.

I was able to find five additional words (not requiring a capital letter).
Can someone post some more answers?

Eight

like why 10 was afraid of 7 - because 7 "ate" 9.

There is a relatively common word beginning with the letter "f" that is still missing among the answers.

It's my fate that I can't come up with that word...

Ha! Not sure how I missed that one! When I started my list I first went down the alphabet and put each letter with the "ate" part and wallah, you had a few words. Blew right by Fate, as fate would have it.

What? No ait or krait?
How about sate?

 

[lookagain]

What? No ait <----- When I looked this up, it came up as "chiefly British."

or krait? <----- The pronunciation options for this I have seen do not rhyme with "ate."

How about sate?<----- This looks to be good both for American English and rhyming with "ate."
