Why wacky rhymes the way it does
The phonology of wacky is a two-syllable core: the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 12 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 4, assonance 6,644, and consonance 683. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Wacky is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
