Why sold rhymes the way it does
The phonology of sold is a one-syllable core: the round /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 79 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 432, assonance 5,924, and consonance 276. 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. Sold is a word that benefits from the second pass.
