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 55 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 251, assonance 4,057, and consonance 1144. 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. Tile reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
