Why gummy rhymes the way it does
Gummy sits on the clipped /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 9, additive and subtractive together 12, assonance 4,252, and consonance 499. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Gummy is a word that benefits from the second pass.
