Why cha rhymes the way it does
Cha sits on the front-and-flat /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 38 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 964, assonance 4,478, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something — the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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. Cha reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
