Why surveyor rhymes the way it does
In our engine, surveyor registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 23 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 15, assonance 4,786, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something โ the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. 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. Surveyor reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
