Words that rhyme with Artillery
On the page, artillery is a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word; on the ear it's a four-syllable word on the high /ษช/ that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Two readings: as data โ there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use; as lyric โ a plain-speech anchor. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why artillery rhymes the way it does
To understand why artillery rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which 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 2, assonance 8,883, and consonance 816. 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With artillery, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
