Why fall rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for fall starts at the vowel โ the wide /ษห/, IPA /ษหl/ โ and ends where the line spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 90 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 159, assonance 4,778, and consonance 914. 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. 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. Fall is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
