If "red" and "apple" are two different words, than "orange" and "orange" are also two different words, thus there is indeed a word that rhymes with "orange"

What about door-hinge?

I actually asked about that, and it's considered two individual words, so it doesn't count

Technicality 😜

I actually invented three words:

Boringe (bor-inj): (noun) Whenever you attempt to obtain an adequate amount of something and unintentionally or inconveniently obtain less-than an adequate amount.

Ex: "I went to grab a paper towel and got a boringe because my hands were all wet!"

Goringe (gor-inj): (noun) Whenever you attempt to obtain an adequate amount of something and unintentionally or inconveniently obtain more-than an adequate amount.

Ex: "I went to grab a paper towel and got a goringe and pulled the whole roll onto the floor!"

Bilver (bil-vur): (verb) whenever an object adheres to itself, rendering it inseperable or unusable.

Ex: "I was tearing off a piece of tape and it bilvered on itself! Now I gotta run to Walmart cuz I'm out of tape!"

Just need to get them approved by Merriam-Webster, so no more technicalities. I will ruin everyone's childhood (actually not me, it'll be whoever claims to have invented them, especially if you don't have a trademark)
