Why fantastic rhymes the way it does
The phonology of fantastic is a three-syllable core: the high /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 20 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 87, assonance 6,622, and consonance 83. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Fantastic reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
