Why wallpaper rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for wallpaper starts at the vowel โ the r-coloured schwa, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 23 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 282, assonance 6,361, and consonance 553. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for wallpaper tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
