Why juliet rhymes the way it does
The phonology of juliet is a two-syllable core: the long /iห/ (/iห/), then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 207, assonance 4,045, and consonance 345. 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. Juliet reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
