Why seaweed rhymes the way it does
Seaweed is built around a tight high-vowel /iห/ (/iห/); it's two-syllable and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 153 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 366, assonance 8,220, and consonance 1058. 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 practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for seaweed tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
