Vocabulary worksheet focusing on rhyming words.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given 20 words (1 to 20) and a list of spelling words at the bottom. We need to find which spelling word rhymes with each numbered word.

Rhyming means the ending sounds match — especially the last vowel and consonant sounds.

Let’s go one by one:

1) Knock → rhymes with “Lock” or “Block” or “Fox”? Wait, let’s check the options.
Looking at the spelling words: Knob, Block, Unlock, Log, Fox, Plot, Shop, Lost…
“Knock” ends with “-ock”. Which word ends with “-ock”? → Block (yes, “knock” and “block” rhyme). Also “Lock” isn’t there, but “Block” is. So → Block

Wait — actually, “Knock” also rhymes with “Sock”, “Rock”, etc. But from the list:
Check: Block → yes, same sound.
Also, “Unlock” has “lock” in it — does “knock” rhyme with “unlock”? Not exactly — “unlock” is two syllables. Better to pick single-syllable matches first.
Actually, “Knock” and “Block” both end with /ɒk/ sound → good match.

But wait — look again: “Knob” is there too. “Knock” vs “Knob” — different endings: “ock” vs “ob” → not a rhyme.
So 1) Knock → Block

2) Amaze → ends with “-aze”
Spelling words: Glaze? Yes! “Amaze” and “Glaze” both end with “-aze” → perfect rhyme.
→ Glaze

3) Caution → ends with “-tion”
Look for words ending with “-tion”: Option? No. Monster? No.
Wait — “Option” ends with “-tion” → yes! “Caution” and “Option” both end with “-shun” sound → they rhyme.
→ Option

4) Clean → ends with “-ean”
Look: Glean? Yes! “Clean” and “Glean” both end with “-een” sound → rhyme.
→ Glean

5) Probe → ends with “-obe”
Look: Globe? Yes! “Probe” and “Globe” both end with “-obe” → rhyme.
→ Globe

6) Duster → ends with “-uster”
Look: Monster? Ends with “-ster” — close? “Duster” = /ˈdʌstər/, “Monster” = /ˈmɒnstər/ — similar ending? Actually, yes — both end with “-ster” sound.
Is there better? “Eraser”? No. “Laboratory”? Too long.
“Monster” is the best match.
→ Monster

7) Throw → ends with “-row”
Look: Glow? Yes! “Throw” and “Glow” both end with “-ow” sound → rhyme.
→ Glow

8) Got → ends with “-ot”
Look: Plot? Yes! “Got” and “Plot” both end with “-ot” → rhyme.
Also “Lost”? “Got” vs “Lost” — different vowel sound. “Plot” is better.
→ Plot

9) Dare → ends with “-are”
Look: Glare? Yes! “Dare” and “Glare” both end with “-air” sound → rhyme.
→ Glare

10) Snap → ends with “-ap”
Look: Map? Not there. Trap? No.
Wait — “Snap” and “Clap”? Not in list.
Look again: “Shop”? No. “Lost”? No.
Wait — maybe “Snap” rhymes with “Clap”, but not in list.
Hold on — perhaps I missed something.
Look at the list: Glow, Glee, Glare, Glory, Glean, Glimpse, Globe, Glacier, Glaze, Glisten, Knob, Block, Unlock, Option, Monster, Log, Fox, Plot, Shop, Lost.

None seem to rhyme with “Snap” directly?
Wait — “Snap” ends with “-ap”. Is there any word ending with “-ap”?
No. Hmm. Maybe “Shop”? “Snap” and “Shop” — no, different vowel.
Perhaps “Log”? No.
Wait — maybe I made a mistake earlier. Let’s double-check.

Actually — “Snap” might rhyme with “Clap”, “Trap”, “Map” — none in list.
But wait — look at “Fox”? No. “Lost”? No.
Perhaps “Snap” is meant to rhyme with “Clap” — but not available.
Wait — maybe “Snap” and “Clap” aren’t here, but what about “Shop”? Still no.

Hold on — perhaps I misread. Let’s look again at the spelling words.

Another idea: “Snap” — could it rhyme with “Clap”? Not in list.
Wait — maybe “Snap” is paired with “Clap” — but since it’s not there, perhaps I need to reconsider.

Wait — look at number 14: Box → should rhyme with “Fox” or “Lost”? “Box” and “Fox” both end with “-ox” → yes! So 14) Box → Fox

Then 10) Snap — still stuck.

Wait — perhaps “Snap” rhymes with “Clap” — but not in list.
Maybe “Snap” and “Clap” are not the only ones — what about “Trap”? No.

Wait — look at “Glee”? No. “Glory”? No.

Perhaps I made a mistake with another one.

Let me try a different approach — group the spelling words by their ending sounds.

List of spelling words:

- Glow → -ow
- Glee → -ee
- Glare → -are
- Glory → -ory
- Glean → -ean
- Glimpse → -impse
- Globe → -obe
- Glacier → -acier
- Glaze → -aze
- Glisten → -isten
- Knob → -ob
- Block → -ock
- Unlock → -lock (but two syllables)
- Option → -tion
- Monster → -ster
- Log → -og
- Fox → -ox
- Plot → -ot
- Shop → -op
- Lost → -ost

Now match to the 20 words:

1) Knock → -ock → Block ✔
2) Amaze → -aze → Glaze ✔
3) Caution → -tion → Option ✔
4) Clean → -ean → Glean ✔
5) Probe → -obe → Globe ✔
6) Duster → -uster → Monster ✔ (both end with -ster sound)
7) Throw → -ow → Glow ✔
8) Got → -ot → Plot ✔
9) Dare → -are → Glare ✔
10) Snap → -ap → ??? No direct match. Wait — is there a word like "Clap"? No. But look — "Shop" ends with -op, not -ap. "Lost" ends with -ost.

Wait — perhaps "Snap" is meant to rhyme with "Clap", but since it's not there, maybe I have an error.

Another thought: maybe "Snap" rhymes with "Clap", but in the list, is there "Clap"? No.

Wait — look at number 17: Chimps → should rhyme with "Glimpse"? "Chimps" and "Glimpse" both end with "-imps" sound? "Chimps" = /tʃɪmps/, "Glimpse" = /ɡlɪmps/ — yes, they rhyme! So 17) Chimps → Glimpse

Then 10) Snap — still no match.

Perhaps "Snap" rhymes with "Clap", but not in list. Or maybe "Snap" and "Clap" are not the only possibilities.

Wait — what about "Log"? "Snap" and "Log" — no. "Fox"? No.

Perhaps I missed "Clap" — but it's not in the list.

Let's continue with others and come back.

11) Cost → ends with -ost → Lost? "Cost" and "Lost" both end with -ost → yes! → Lost

12) Christen → ends with -isten → Glisten? "Christen" = /ˈkrɪsən/, "Glisten" = /ˈɡlɪsən/ — similar? Both end with -sen sound? Actually, "Christen" is often pronounced with -ten, but in some accents, it might rhyme with "glisten". Let's see: "Christen" and "Glisten" — both have "isten" ending? "Christen" is C-H-R-I-S-T-E-N, so -sten. "Glisten" is G-L-I-S-T-E-N, so -sten. Yes, they rhyme! → Glisten

13) Throb → ends with -ob → Knob? "Throb" and "Knob" both end with -ob → yes! → Knob

14) Box → ends with -ox → Fox? "Box" and "Fox" both end with -ox → yes! → Fox

15) Three → ends with -ree → Glee? "Three" and "Glee" both end with -ee sound → yes! → Glee

16) Laboratory → ends with -atory → Glory? "Laboratory" = /ləˈbɔːrətɔːri/, "Glory" = /ˈɡlːri/ — not really. Wait, "Laboratory" has many syllables. What rhymes with it? Perhaps "Glory" is not right. Look at the list: is there a word like "Story"? No. "Glory" might be the closest, but let's think.

"Laboratory" — the stressed syllable is "bor", but the ending is "tory". "Glory" ends with "ory" — similar? In some contexts, they might be considered to rhyme loosely, but typically not.

Wait — perhaps "Laboratory" rhymes with "Glory" if we consider the last part. But let's see other options.

Another word: "Option"? No. "Monster"? No.

Perhaps "Laboratory" is meant to rhyme with "Glory" — but I'm not sure.

Let's check online or standard rhymes — but since this is a worksheet, likely "Glory" is intended.

But wait — look at the spelling words: "Glory" is there, and "Laboratory" ends with "ory", same as "Glory" — so perhaps it's accepted.

I'll go with Glory for now.

17) Chimps → as above, Glimpse ✔

18) Unclog → ends with -og → Log? "Unclog" and "Log" both end with -og → yes! → Log

19) Eraser → ends with -aser → ? Look: "Eraser" = /ɪˈreɪsər/, what rhymes? "Blazer"? Not in list. "Gazer"? No.

Wait — "Eraser" and "Blazer" rhyme, but not in list. What about "Glacier"? "Glacier" = /ˈɡleɪʃər/ — similar ending? "Eraser" ends with -ser, "Glacier" ends with -cier — not the same.

Perhaps "Eraser" rhymes with "Blazer", but not available.

Another idea: "Eraser" and "Phaser"? No.

Look at the list: "Glisten"? No. "Option"? No.

Perhaps "Eraser" is meant to rhyme with "Blazer", but since it's not there, maybe I have a mistake.

Wait — what about "Monster"? No.

Let's list all spelling words again and see which are left.

After assigning:

Used so far:

1) Block

2) Glaze

3) Option

4) Glean

5) Globe

6) Monster

7) Glow

8) Plot

9) Glare

10) ?

11) Lost

12) Glisten

13) Knob

14) Fox

15) Glee

16) ?

17) Glimpse

18) Log

19) ?

20) Flock → ends with -ock → Block is already used. "Flock" and "Block" rhyme, but Block is taken. What else? "Knock" was 1, but "Flock" should rhyme with "Block" or "Sock", etc. Since "Block" is used for "Knock", perhaps "Flock" can use another? But "Block" is the only -ock word besides "Knob" which is -ob.

"Flock" ends with -ock, so should be Block, but Block is used for Knock.

Problem: each spelling word can be used only once, I assume.

So for 20) Flock, if Block is used for 1) Knock, then what for Flock?

Perhaps I assigned wrong.

Let's rethink 1) Knock and 20) Flock.

Both "Knock" and "Flock" end with -ock, so both should rhyme with "Block".

But "Block" can only be used once.

So perhaps one of them uses a different word.

Is there another word that rhymes with "Knock"? "Sock", "Rock", etc., not in list.

"Flock" same thing.

Unless "Unlock" is considered, but "Unlock" is two syllables.

"Unlock" ends with "lock", so "Knock" and "Unlock" — do they rhyme? "Knock" is one syllable, "Unlock" is two, but the last syllable is "lock", so yes, they can rhyme in poetry sometimes.

Similarly, "Flock" and "Unlock" — same thing.

But typically, for elementary level, they might expect single-syllable matches.

Perhaps for 1) Knock, use "Block", and for 20) Flock, use "Unlock"? But "Unlock" has "un-" prefix, so the rhyme is on "lock", which matches.

Let's see the instruction: "write the spelling words that rhyme with these words." It doesn't specify single syllable, so "Unlock" could work for "Flock" or "Knock".

But "Knock" and "Unlock" — the stress is different, but the ending sound is the same.

In many curricula, they accept that.

To avoid conflict, let's assign:

For 1) Knock → Block

For 20) Flock → Unlock? But "Unlock" is listed, and it ends with "lock", so yes.

"Flock" and "Unlock" — both have "ock" sound at the end.

Similarly, "Knock" and "Block" have "ock".

So possible.

But let's confirm with other assignments.

Back to 10) Snap.

Still no match.

What spelling words are left unused?

Let's list all spelling words and mark used.

Spelling words:

- Glow → used for 7) Throw

- Glee → used for 15) Three

- Glare → used for 9) Dare

- Glory → tentatively for 16) Laboratory

- Glean → used for 4) Clean

- Glimpse → used for 17) Chimps

- Globe → used for 5) Probe

- Glacier → not used yet

- Glaze → used for 2) Amaze

- Glisten → used for 12) Christen

- Knob → used for 13) Throb

- Block → used for 1) Knock

- Unlock → not used

- Option → used for 3) Caution

- Monster → used for 6) Duster

- Log → used for 18) Unclog

- Fox → used for 14) Box

- Plot → used for 8) Got

- Shop → not used

- Lost → used for 11) Cost

Unused: Glacier, Unlock, Shop

And for 10) Snap, 16) Laboratory, 19) Eraser, 20) Flock

20) Flock needs a rhyme — can use Unlock or Shop? "Flock" and "Shop" — no. "Flock" and "Unlock" — yes, as discussed.

16) Laboratory — if not Glory, what else? "Glory" is the only -ory word.

19) Eraser — what rhymes? "Eraser" and "Blazer", not in list. "Glacier"? "Glacier" is /ˈɡleɪʃər/, "Eraser" is /ɪˈreɪsər/ — both end with -er sound, and the vowel is similar? In some accents, they might rhyme.

"Eraser" and "Glacier" — let's see: "eraser" has stress on second syllable, "glacier" on first, but the ending is similar.

Perhaps it's acceptable.

10) Snap — still no.

"Snap" and "Clap" not there. What about "Shop"? "Snap" and "Shop" — different vowel.

Unless "Snap" is meant to rhyme with "Clap", but since it's not, perhaps I have a mistake in another assignment.

Let's try assigning 20) Flock to Block, and 1) Knock to Unlock.

So:

1) Knock → Unlock (since "knock" and "unlock" share the "lock" sound)

20) Flock → Block ("flock" and "block" rhyme)

Then for 10) Snap, still no.

Perhaps "Snap" rhymes with "Clap", but not in list, or maybe "Snap" and "Trap" — not there.

Another idea: "Snap" and "Clap" are not, but what about "Map"? No.

Look at "Glee"? No.

Perhaps "Snap" is paired with "Clap", but since it's not, maybe the word is "Clap" but it's not in the list — wait, the list has "Shop", "Lost", etc.

Let's calculate how many are left.

Total spelling words: 20

Numbered words: 20

So each must be used once.

Currently, after initial assignment, unused spelling words: Glacier, Unlock, Shop

And unassigned numbered words: 10) Snap, 16) Laboratory, 19) Eraser, 20) Flock — that's 4, but only 3 unused spelling words? No, I have 20 spelling words, and I assigned 17, so 3 left, but 4 unassigned? That can't be.

Let's count my assignments:

Assigned:

1) Block

2) Glaze

3) Option

4) Glean

5) Globe

6) Monster

7) Glow

8) Plot

9) Glare

11) Lost

12) Glisten

13) Knob

14) Fox

15) Glee

17) Glimpse

18) Log

That's 16 assigned.

Unassigned numbered: 10, 16, 19, 20 — 4

Unused spelling words: from the list, let's list all 20:

1. Glow - used

2. Glee - used

3. Glare - used

4. Glory - not used yet

5. Glean - used

6. Glimpse - used

7. Globe - used

8. Glacier - not used

9. Glaze - used

10. Glisten - used

11. Knob - used

12. Block - used

13. Unlock - not used

14. Option - used

15. Monster - used

16. Log - used

17. Fox - used

18. Plot - used

19. Shop - not used

20. Lost - used

So unused spelling words: Glory, Glacier, Unlock, Shop — that's 4.

Yes, 4 unused: Glory, Glacier, Unlock, Shop

And unassigned numbered: 10) Snap, 16) Laboratory, 19) Eraser, 20) Flock

Perfect.

Now match them.

10) Snap → needs a rhyme. Possible candidates: Shop? "Snap" and "Shop" — both end with -ap and -op, not the same. But in some dialects, might be close, but typically not.

"Snap" and "Clap" not there.

Perhaps "Snap" rhymes with "Clap", but since not, maybe it's "Shop" by mistake.

Another thought: "Snap" and "Clap" are not, but what about "Trap"? No.

Perhaps "Snap" is meant to be matched with "Clap", but it's not in the list, so maybe I have an error in another assignment.

Let's consider 19) Eraser.

"Eraser" — what rhymes? "Blazer", "Phaser", not in list. "Glacier" — as said, /ˈɡleɪʃər/ vs /ɪˈreɪsər/ — the ending is similar: both have "ay-sher" or "ay-ser" sound. In many educational contexts, they are considered to rhyme because of the "-ser" ending.

Similarly, "Eraser" and "Glacier" might be accepted.

16) Laboratory — "Laboratory" ends with "tory", "Glory" ends with "ory" — close enough for elementary level.

20) Flock — "Flock" ends with "ock", so "Block" is ideal, but "Block" is used for "Knock". If I swap, as before.

10) Snap — still problem.

Perhaps "Snap" rhymes with "Clap", but not in list, or maybe "Snap" and "Map" — not there.

Another idea: "Snap" and "Clap" are not, but what about "Cap"? No.

Look at "Glee"? No.

Perhaps "Snap" is paired with "Clap", but since it's not, maybe the word is "Clap" but it's misspelled or something — no.

Let's think differently. Maybe "Snap" rhymes with "Clap", but in the list, "Shop" is there, and "Snap" and "Shop" have similar consonant ending, but vowel different.

Perhaps for 10) Snap, use "Shop" — even though not perfect, it might be the intended match.

Or perhaps I missed that "Snap" can rhyme with "Clap", but since not, let's see the answer choices.

Another possibility: "Snap" and "Clap" are not, but "Snap" and "Trap" — not there.

Let's check online or standard rhymes for "snap": clap, trap, map, lap, cap, etc. None in list except possibly "Shop" if we stretch.

But "Shop" is for "Stop" or "Hop", not "Snap".

Perhaps for 8) Got, I have "Plot", but "Got" and "Lot" or "Hot", not "Plot" — "Plot" is /plɒt/, "Got" is /ɡɒt/, so yes, they rhyme.

"Snap" is /snæp/, so needs /æp/ sound.

No word in list has that.

Unless "Clap" is implied, but not there.

Perhaps "Glimpse" is for "Chimps", which is correct, but "Glimpse" has "impse", same as "chimps".

Let's consider that "Snap" might be matched with "Clap", but since it's not, maybe the worksheet has a typo, or I need to use "Shop".

But let's look at 19) Eraser.

If I assign "Eraser" to "Glacier", then 16) Laboratory to "Glory", 20) Flock to "Unlock", and 10) Snap to "Shop" — even though not perfect.

"Snap" and "Shop" — both end with p, but vowel different.

In some accents, "snap" and "shop" might be closer, but typically not.

Perhaps "Snap" is meant to be "Clap", but it's written as "Snap".

Another idea: perhaps "Snap" rhymes with "Clap", but in the list, "Clap" is not there, but "Clap" is not a spelling word; the spelling words are given.

Let's read the instruction: "Write the spelling words that rhyme with these words." and the spelling words are listed at the bottom.

So for "Snap", which spelling word rhymes with it? From the list, none perfectly, but perhaps "Shop" is the closest.

Maybe "Log" but "Log" is for "Unclog".

Let's try to assign based on common pairs.

Perhaps for 10) Snap, use "Clap", but it's not in the list, so must be one of the unused.

Let's list the unused spelling words: Glory, Glacier, Unlock, Shop

And unassigned: Snap, Laboratory, Eraser, Flock

Now, "Flock" clearly rhymes with "Block", but "Block" is used. If I use "Unlock" for "Flock", then "Knock" can use "Block", as before.

"Laboratory" and "Glory" — both have "ory" ending, so likely.

"Eraser" and "Glacier" — both have "ier" or "aser" ending, and in pronunciation, "eraser" is e-ra-ser, "glacier" is gla-cier, so the last syllable is similar: -ser and -cier, which can be considered to rhyme in some contexts.

Then for "Snap", only "Shop" left.

"Snap" and "Shop" — not great, but perhaps in the context, it's accepted, or maybe I have a mistake.

Another possibility: "Snap" and "Clap" are not, but what about "Map"? No.

Perhaps "Snap" is paired with "Clap", but since not, let's see if "Glee" is for "Three", which is correct.

Let's search for a different match for one of the earlier ones.

For example, 6) Duster — I have "Monster", but is there better? "Duster" and "Cluster"? Not in list. "Monster" is fine.

7) Throw — "Glow" is good.

8) Got — "Plot" is good.

9) Dare — "Glare" is good.

11) Cost — "Lost" is good.

12) Christen — "Glisten" is good.

13) Throb — "Knob" is good.

14) Box — "Fox" is good.

15) Three — "Glee" is good.

17) Chimps — "Glimpse" is good.

18) Unclog — "Log" is good.

So only the four left.

Perhaps for 10) Snap, the intended match is "Clap", but since it's not, maybe "Shop" is it.

Or perhaps "Snap" rhymes with "Clap", but in the list, "Clap" is not there, so must be "Shop".

Let's assume that.

So:

10) Snap → Shop

16) Laboratory → Glory

19) Eraser → Glacier

20) Flock → Unlock

Now, check if they make sense.

- Snap and Shop: not perfect, but perhaps in the curriculum, it's accepted.

- Laboratory and Glory: both end with "ory", so ok.

- Eraser and Glacier: both end with "er" sound, and the vowel is similar in some pronunciations.

- Flock and Unlock: "flock" and "unlock" — the "ock" sound matches, so ok.

For 1) Knock, I have "Block", which is good.

So let's finalize.

Final assignments:

1) Knock → Block

2) Amaze → Glaze

3) Caution → Option

4) Clean → Glean

5) Probe → Globe

6) Duster → Monster

7) Throw → Glow

8) Got → Plot

9) Dare → Glare

10) Snap → Shop [assumed]

11) Cost → Lost

12) Christen → Glisten

13) Throb → Knob

14) Box → Fox

15) Three → Glee

16) Laboratory → Glory

17) Chimps → Glimpse

18) Unclog → Log

19) Eraser → Glacier

20) Flock → Unlock

Now, to write the answer.

But let's verify 19) Eraser and Glacier.

"Eraser" : /ɪˈreɪ.sər/ or /əˈreɪ.sər/

"Glacier" : /ˈɡleɪ.ʃər/ or /ˈɡle.si.ər/

In American English, "glacier" is often /ˈɡleɪ.ʃər/, "eraser" is /ɪˈreɪ.sər/, so the ending is -sher and -ser, which are very close, and in many school settings, they are considered to rhyme.

Similarly, "Snap" and "Shop" — /snæp/ and /ʃp/ — different vowels, but perhaps it's the best available.

Perhaps "Snap" is meant to be "Clap", but since not, we'll go with this.

So the final answer is:

1) Block

2) Glaze

3) Option

4) Glean

5) Globe

6) Monster

7) Glow

8) Plot

9) Glare

10) Shop

11) Lost

12) Glisten

13) Knob

14) Fox

15) Glee

16) Glory

17) Glimpse

18) Log

19) Glacier

20) Unlock

Now, to box the answer.

Since the user wants the final answer, I'll list them.
