Why whit rhymes the way it does
Whit sits on the high /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 64 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 10,911, and consonance 907. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Whit is a word that benefits from the second pass.
