Why bit rhymes the way it does
Pull bit apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 62 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 10,915, and consonance 907. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Bit pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
