Why dazzling rhymes the way it does
In our engine, dazzling registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 30, assonance 6,699, and consonance 10. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for dazzling tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
