Why formula rhymes the way it does
Formula sits on the front-and-flat /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 72, assonance 9,626, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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. Formula is a word that benefits from the second pass.
