Why atc rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for atc starts at the vowel — the front-and-flat /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 6,589, and consonance 162. 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. Atc reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
