Why candice rhymes the way it does
Candice is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a long-i vowel that opens the mouth, then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 69 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 222, assonance 3,976, and consonance 991. 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. 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. Candice reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
