Why flo rhymes the way it does
To understand why flo rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the open /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 964, assonance 4,478, 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. 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. Flo is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
