Default Looking up data in a column, then returning values of respective row

I'm trying to use Excel to create a basic rhyming dictionary. I have
one worksheet for the query and results and another worksheet holding
the word data. The data worksheet contains numerous rows of up to 30
words each that all rhyme with each other, e.g. row 1 = brick, chick,
flick; row 2 = dock, mock, clock; row 3 = career, veneer, appear (etc
etc). My idea is that when the query term is found anywhere in the data
sheet, all the words from the row it is found in are returned on the
query/results sheet. For instance if the search term is "dock", the
results in this example would be mock and clock. However I can't seem
to get LOOKUP to return the values of all cells in the relevant row, or
is that the wrong function for this?

Many thanks
TC
