Why flower rhymes the way it does
Flower sits on the /aส/ diphthong, transcribed /aสษr/ in our engine, and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 27 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 30, assonance 1,292, 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. 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. Flower reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
