Why fruit rhymes the way it does
In our engine, fruit registers as a one-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 111 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 167, assonance 3,476, and consonance 969. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Fruit works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
