Why rancher rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for rancher starts at the vowel โ the r-coloured schwa, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 66, assonance 6,656, and consonance 71. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Rancher works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
