Why multiply rhymes the way it does
Multiply sits on the short /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 187 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2040, assonance 2,017, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Multiply is a word that benefits from the second pass.
