Why caffeine rhymes the way it does
Caffeine sits on the front /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 176 matches, family rhymes 42, additive and subtractive together 427, assonance 8,473, and consonance 1166. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for caffeine tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
