Words that rhyme with Watts
On the page, watts is a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word; on the ear it's a one-syllable word on the short /æ/ that spills into a fricative. It's a word everyone uses — which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. From the rhyme-data side: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. From the lyric side, it works as a low-register anchor. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.
