Why dig rhymes the way it does
Dig sits on the clipped /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 54 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 18, assonance 8,528, and consonance 188. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Dig pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
