Why justice rhymes the way it does
Justice sits on the open /aɪ/ diphthong, transcribed /i/ in our engine, and softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 75, assonance 4,925, and consonance 104. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Justice is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
