There is a widely held belief that the word ‘orange’ does not have anything that rhymes with it. Actually, this is a question that is often used in trivia competitions, as people just believe that it is a unique word in the English language.

But there’s a problem if you just fall into the trap of believing that it is unique. The truth of the matter is that there is one word that rhymes, and that word is ‘sporange.’

Now, admittedly that does sound like a word that is just made up and cannot really exist, but it does. The word comes from botany. It means ‘spore case’ which is why you have probably never heard of it before.

The good thing is that you now have the correct answer to give the next time that someone asks you to think of something that rhymes with orange, and you’ll leave people amazed that an answer does indeed exist.
