Why remote rhymes the way it does
In our engine, remote registers as a two-syllable word on the round /oส/ (/o/) that lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 75 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 120, assonance 5,826, and consonance 869. 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. Remote is a word that benefits from the second pass.
