Why propelled rhymes the way it does
Propelled sits on the front /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 36 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 133, assonance 11,772, and consonance 260. 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. Propelled reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
