Why adjusted rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for adjusted starts at the vowel โ the mid /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 51, assonance 4,940, and consonance 101. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Adjusted works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
