Why clouded rhymes the way it does
In our engine, clouded registers as a two-syllable word on the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) that snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 3,564, and consonance 142. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Clouded is a word that benefits from the second pass.
