Why carbide rhymes the way it does
In our engine, carbide registers as a two-syllable word on the open /aษช/ diphthong (/i/) that snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 99, assonance 7,858, and consonance 4. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Carbide is a word that benefits from the second pass.
