Why hid rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for hid starts at the vowel โ the short /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 65 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 12, assonance 10,965, and consonance 819. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Hid pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
