Strict matches show up in low numbers, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, while the assonance count climbs into the thousands.

Why armada rhymes the way it does

The phonology of armada is a three-syllable core: the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/), then it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 6,749, and consonance 878. 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. 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. Armada is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
