Why conclude rhymes the way it does
To understand why conclude rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ a closing /uห/, written /u/ โ and the ending, which snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 110 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 154, assonance 3,514, and consonance 779. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Conclude reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
