Why block rhymes the way it does
Block sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 63 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 88, assonance 5,721, and consonance 617. 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. 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. Block reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
