No common English word rhymes with 'nurture' (/ˈnəːtʃə/), because the sequence /ɜːtʃə/ with stress on /ɜː/ is rare. The words below all share the -ture spelling and the final /tʃə/ sound, but each has a different vowel before it: /eɪ/ in nature, /ʌ/ in culture, /ɪ/ in picture, /ɜː/ in furniture (though furniture has an extra /nɪ/ before /tʃə/, so it still does not rhyme), /e/ in lecture, and /æ/ in capture. Do not pronounce 'nurture' like these lookalikes.
