English is extremely inconsistent.  Good doesn't rhyme with food which 
doesn't rhyme with flood.  You're going to need something that describes 
the phonetics of each word, like an open dictionary.  With that, you 
should be able to identify which words rhyme.

Rhyme is a subjective term as well.  Some words "rhyme" even though they 
don't meet any formal definition of "rhyme," they just sound right 
together.  But this is a lesser concern.
