Why quitting rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for quitting starts at the vowel — the short /ɪ/, IPA /ɪ/ — and ends where the line hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 30 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 73, assonance 12,700, and consonance 224. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With quitting, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
