Words that rhyme with Implicit
Treated as a household-word, implicit is also a three-syllable sound-shape on the short /ษช/ โ one that lands on a closed syllable. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Two readings: as data โ no strict pair turns up at all, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the assonance pool is the one that won't run out; as lyric โ a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why implicit rhymes the way it does
Implicit is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the clipped /ษช/, then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 72, assonance 12,513, and consonance 434. 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. Implicit is a word that benefits from the second pass.
