Why hunch rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for hunch starts at the vowel โ a back-mid /ส/, IPA /ส/ โ and ends where the line lands on an affricate. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 4,319, and consonance 63. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Hunch reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
