Words that don’t rhyme

I thought it was only orange that didn’t rhyme, but apparently there are more. And some of them are also colours – silver and purple.

There’s also wolf and window and poem (wouldn’t you say gnome?) and gulf and nostril (who’d have picked it – ha!) and month.

Perhaps we need to invent some more words, like dolf and findow and costril. Is that how it works? We just throw some letters together, then think of something they could refer to? I’ll work on some meanings now.
