Sketch the rhyme pool and you get strict matches show up in low numbers, family rhymes round out the strict column, and the assonance count climbs into the thousands. Sketch the lyric role and you get a common-tongue word. Reach for the assonance list whenever the strict pool starts repeating itself.

Why ranting rhymes the way it does

The phonology of ranting is a two-syllable core: the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 29 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 58, assonance 6,641, and consonance 74. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Ranting rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
