Well, other Blurtit users seem to have already given you quite a few words that rhyme with 'sun', so I won't go on to list more, because I think that some general advice would be more useful to you.

I assume that you're trying to write poetry, in which case, I can sympathise with your problem! But remember that poetry doesn't have to rhyme.

In fact, poetry often sounds better if you drop the rhymes in favour of developing a beautifully-flowing rhythm instead. But if you do want to rhyme, semi-rhymes (I'll explain more about these later), often work equally well, and stop your work from sounding childish.

Most poets own rhyming dictionaries - which list words and their rhymes - but many wouldn't admit to using them! Using rhyme doesn't have to be a crime, though, so I will go on to explain more about how to make rhyming easier in the rest of my answer.

How to Find Words That Rhyme
  1. Check that it is possible to rhyme your word - i.e. Not one of the following: Silver, orange, purple, month, angst, scalp, breadth, depth, width
  2. Look at the last two syllables of the word - 'terrific', for example, would produce '-rific'
  3. Try to think of words that have the same sounds as those two syllables - they don't need to be the same letters, just the same sounds. These are perfect rhymes.
  4. If you're still struggling, think of words with an imperfect sound ending - for example, words like 'terrific' and 'lyric', where only one of the last two syllables rhymes
  5. Semi-rhymes are a good back-up plan - these are words with an extra syllable on the end, e.g. 'send' and 'bending'
  6. If all else fails, think of a different word with the same meaning that you can rhyme more easily - or drop that word altogether. Can you make your poetry work without it?
  7. If even that doesn't work, try supplementing the word with an extra word - for example, if you've painted yourself into a corner with a word like 'orange', can you add 'tree', 'peel' or 'hue' to give yourself a chance?
