# Similarity in Sound

The similarity in sound option lights up whenever the intelligent rhyme is chosen from the rhyme type menu. It allows you to **influence the closeness of a rhyme** by tapping/clicking on the '≈' and '=' buttons. The gap in the circular line around the center button indicates the degree of similarity in sound.

{% hint style="success" %}
Decrease the similarity in sound by tapping/clicking on the '≈' button. 
{% endhint %}

Each change in the similarity in sound will give you more phonetically related near rhymes **without repeating prior rhyme mates**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Entering a new search word will reset the prior similarity in sound setting and present rhymes with the **strongest similarity in sound** while **exluding** [phonetic repetitions](/intelligent-rhyme/phonetic-repetitions.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that the similarity in sound function is most effective when the [multi-syllabic option](/intelligent-rhyme/stress-pattern-recognition.md) is on and the search word is [feminine](/intelligent-rhyme/stress-pattern-recognition.md).
{% endhint %}
