Why melted rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for melted starts at the vowel โ the centred /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 11,852, and consonance 32. 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. 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. Melted works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
