Why slice rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for slice starts at the vowel — the bright /aɪ/, IPA /aɪs/ — and ends where the line tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 100 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 103, assonance 2,972, and consonance 495. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Slice pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
