Why niece rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for niece starts at the vowel โ the bright /iห/, IPA /iห/ โ and ends where the line tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 126 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 166, assonance 4,819, and consonance 450. 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. Niece is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
