Why antigua rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for antigua starts at the vowel โ the mid /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, and consonance 0. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Antigua reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
