Why ipswich rhymes the way it does
Pull ipswich apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an affricate snap. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 24 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 7,070, and consonance 148. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Ipswich pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
