Why ludwig rhymes the way it does
Ludwig is built around the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 56 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 18, assonance 8,527, and consonance 188. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Ludwig rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
