Why chalet rhymes the way it does
In our engine, chalet registers as a two-syllable word on the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 6,677, and consonance 967. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Chalet pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
