Why flurry rhymes the way it does
To understand why flurry rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the tight /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 11, assonance 1,862, 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Flurry is a word that benefits from the second pass.
