Why snippet rhymes the way it does
The phonology of snippet is a two-syllable core: the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 81, assonance 11,410, and consonance 149. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Snippet is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
