Why toy rhymes the way it does
Toy is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษษช/ diphthong, then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 26 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 125, assonance 381, 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With toy, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
