Why thad rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for thad starts at the vowel — the flat /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 53 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 13, assonance 6,647, and consonance 888. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Thad pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
