Why exposed rhymes the way it does
Exposed sits on the centred /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 25 matches, family rhymes 32, additive and subtractive together 489, assonance 6,802, and consonance 279. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Exposed pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
