Why landry rhymes the way it does
Landry is built around the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's two-syllable and leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 42, assonance 6,683, and consonance 12. 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. Landry is a word that benefits from the second pass.
