Why comet rhymes the way it does
The phonology of comet is a two-syllable core: the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 106, assonance 7,437, and consonance 65. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Comet is a word that benefits from the second pass.
