Why goal rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for goal starts at the vowel โ the open /oส/, IPA /oส/ โ and ends where the line flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 43 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 211, assonance 4,098, and consonance 789. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Goal pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
