Why weighted rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for weighted starts at the vowel โ the centred /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 64 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 340, assonance 5,530, and consonance 201. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Weighted rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
