Why itch rhymes the way it does
In our engine, itch registers as a one-syllable word on the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) that lands on a rare affricate consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 24 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 11, assonance 6,628, and consonance 128. 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. 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. Itch reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
