is there such a thing as a phonetic thesaurus?

I'm looking for (preferably) a site, that gives a list of words that sound similar to the word you put entered.

Do you mean a rhyming dictionary?
Most thesauri list homophones.

I guess I might need more detail.

Do you mean some kind of IPA-thesaurus?

The rhyming dictionary is basically what I'm looking for, i just made up the term 'phonetic thesaurus' obviously because i didn't know what else to call it.

rhymezone.com, i think, is pretty sweet.
it offers rhyming words in lists, complet-
-ly organized by length, so that the met-
-er of your poetry is nice and neat.
