Why margo rhymes the way it does
To understand why margo rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the round /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 964, assonance 4,478, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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. Margo is a word that benefits from the second pass.
