Why foxy rhymes the way it does
To understand why foxy rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 158, assonance 6,054, and consonance 487. 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. 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. Foxy is a word that benefits from the second pass.
