Why nice rhymes the way it does
Nice is built around the open /aɪ/ diphthong (/aɪs/); it's one-syllable and lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 97 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 103, assonance 2,974, and consonance 495. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Nice is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
