Why escort rhymes the way it does
In our engine, escort registers as a two-syllable word on the rounded /ɔːr/ (/ɔːr/) that lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 81 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 157, assonance 8,078, and consonance 115. 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.

Escort is a word that benefits from the second pass.
