Why luckily rhymes the way it does
Pull luckily apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 46, assonance 4,163, and consonance 96. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Luckily pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
