Why sprinkle rhymes the way it does
To understand why sprinkle rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the high /ɪ/, written /ɪ/ — and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 90, assonance 12,551, and consonance 11. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Sprinkle pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
