Why byte rhymes the way it does
Byte sits on a long-i vowel that opens the mouth, transcribed /y/ in our engine, and closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 143 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 128, assonance 2,922, and consonance 995. 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. Byte is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
