How about "ere" and "aire"?

I don't see any dictionaries that list "aire" as a word (except as proper noun). I thought I had both "ere" and "err", but the former must have fallen off. Added it.

No No No............Mayor does not rhyme with air. And neither does they're.

They certainly do rhyme with Claire where I live. Variation is not the same as wrong.

Are you from the Boston area, by any chance :). "Hair" also has two syllables there.

I'm not from Boston, have lived in many parts of the US, and everyone I know says "may-er". If you look for the pronunciation online, the examples I find are always two syllables in American English.

Agreed. Mayor is two syllables. It's not a homophone of "mare."

I like having they're. And I agree that in many parts of the country, mayor and prayer should be here- but then maybe so should layer. But not player. Isn't English awesome?

Maybe mayor and prayer should have asterisks.

Yeah.. why isn't layer on here? The only one I can think of aside from that is Nair, which is a depilatory cream. but I guess it's a proper noun and probably doesn't count for that reason.

They're tricked me. This is a contraction oft words so you don't see it in the other rhyming quizzes. Still its your quiz - good job.

For me, err rhymes with her, though I suppose if you're from Liverpool it could well rhyme with Claire!

Great quiz, thanks!

How about adding “yeah” and “ne’er” (as in “ne’er do well”)?

Just a thought on this... mayor and layer have literally the same phonetics on Merriam Webster. More commonly, they are both two-syllable words. Both have a one-syllable variant. If you have mayor as a possibility, you really should have layer. I would say layer in "brick layer" with two syllables, but I actually say layer in "two-layer cake" with one syllable, oddly. I've never heard mayor as having one syllable, but Merriam Webster says that it's common to say 'mer Johnson for Mayor Johnson.

All of these work in my accent except ere and err. Where do they rhyme with Claire? American midwest perhaps?

“Mayor” does not belong here despite your protestations above. It’s two syllables.
