Why triple rhymes the way it does
Triple is built around the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's two-syllable and spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 93, assonance 9,448, and consonance 51. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Triple pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
