Why spoil rhymes the way it does
In our engine, spoil registers as a one-syllable word on the rounded /ɔɪ/ glide (/ɔɪ/) that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 935, and consonance 887. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Spoil works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
