Why guido rhymes the way it does
Guido sits on the round /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 55 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1464, assonance 3,525, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Guido is a word that benefits from the second pass.
