Why anarchy rhymes the way it does
Pull anarchy apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 6,618, and consonance 119. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Anarchy is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
