Why attack rhymes the way it does
The phonology of attack is a two-syllable core: the flat /æ/ (/æ/), then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 65 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 6,519, and consonance 643. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Attack is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
