Why blurry rhymes the way it does
Pull blurry apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 11, assonance 1,862, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With blurry, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
