    Same with silver, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate. Though there are a lot of "half-rhyming" words that go with Orange, but not proper rhymes like lozenge and Stonehenge.

    Sorry for double post,

    Just remembered this one because it sounds funny. Saw them use it in a Sportscentre Top 10 for spelling bees.

    It caused the kid to laugh: sardoodledom but it sounds like sardoodledum.

    Just looked it up . ..it means:

    mechanically contrived plot structure and stereotyped or unrealistic characterization in drama : staginess, melodrama

    Ooooo good one... at first I thought it was either a fake word, or something to do with puke. Just dictionary.com'd the word and it's the passage-way to and from seating.
