Why hottest rhymes the way it does
In our engine, hottest registers as a two-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 7,472, and consonance 41. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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. Hottest is a word that benefits from the second pass.
