Why tile rhymes the way it does
Tile is built around the bright /aษช/ (/i/); it's two-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 32 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 127, assonance 2,980, and consonance 906. 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. 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. Tile reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
