Why polar rhymes the way it does
To understand why polar rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the broad /ษหr/, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 12 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 271, assonance 3,885, and consonance 1015. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Polar reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
