Why assistance rhymes the way it does
In our engine, assistance registers as a three-syllable word on the short /æ/ (/æ/) that spills into a fricative.

The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines.

With assistance, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
