Eminem actually used that, along with "four-inch."

The rhyme was

"Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four inch screws
Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms, and foreign tools
'This is for every time you took my orange juice...'"

Obviously he's a little liberal with the rhymes -- especially with "foreign tools" -- but I was still impressed. It's pretty creative.

oligarchy and monarchy rhyme with anarchy
ancillary and bacillary rhyme with capillary
scapegoat kinda rhymes with zygote
 
I guess those would be partial rhymes.... Monarchy<>Anarchy would be closest to rhyming of those you list. There are actually lots of words that don't rhyme or don't rhyme well.

Huh?

Do you guys not know what a rhyme is?

Nurple would rhyme with purple, but it's not a word. Turtle doesn't rhyme with purple, since it doesn't contain "urple" or anything that sounds like it.
