Why empower rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for empower starts at the vowel โ the r-coloured schwa, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 27, assonance 1,152, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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. Empower reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
