"This new edition of Merriam-Webster's Rhyming Dictionary contains over 71,000 rhyming words, about 16,000 more than the first edition. The additions naturally include words that have come into common use since the earlier book's publication -- words such as busk, blog, out-there, dreadlocked, fearmonger, and jaw-dropper. But most of the book's additions are not actually new to the language. For the first time, most of the two-, three-, four-, and five-word entries found in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary have been given their own place in this volume's lists of rhyming words."--Preface.
