Why cache rhymes the way it does
Pull cache apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a rare affricate consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 26 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 21, assonance 6,663, and consonance 148. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Cache reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
