Why slit rhymes the way it does
In our engine, slit registers as a one-syllable word on the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) that snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 65 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 10,912, and consonance 907. 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. 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. Slit rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
