Why precise rhymes the way it does
The phonology of precise is a two-syllable core: the gliding /aɪ/ (/i/), then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 97 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 103, assonance 2,975, 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. 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. Precise reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
