Why preheat rhymes the way it does
Pull preheat apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the singing /iห/ (/iห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 116 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 180, assonance 4,480, and consonance 879. 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. Preheat is a word that benefits from the second pass.
