Why mccoy rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for mccoy starts at the vowel โ the rounded /ษษช/ glide, IPA /ษษช/ โ and ends where the line opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 27 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 125, assonance 381, 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Mccoy works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
