Why builder rhymes the way it does
The phonology of builder is a two-syllable core: the r-coloured schwa (/ษหr/), then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 77, assonance 12,121, and consonance 283. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Builder works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
