Why economical rhymes the way it does
Economical sits on the front-and-flat /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 3, additive and subtractive together 54, assonance 7,388, and consonance 21. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Economical is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
