[From Dictionary.com Source Link]
The rumor that "orange" rhymes with no other word is incorrect. Orange rhymes with Blorenge (a mountain in Wales) and sporange (a sac where spores are made). "Silver" has the same rumor going for it, but it actually rhymes with Wilver (a nickname) and chilver (a ewe lamb).
Wow. Don't say this blog never helped you in Scrabble. I totally forgot about Blorenge, sporange, and chilver.
