Why squeeze rhymes the way it does
In our engine, squeeze registers as a one-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 136 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 152, assonance 4,804, and consonance 566. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Squeeze reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
