Why unit rhymes the way it does
Unit is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 235, assonance 4,309, and consonance 358. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Unit works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
