Why windsor rhymes the way it does
The phonology of windsor is a two-syllable core: the rounded /ษหr/ (/ษหr/), then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 75 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. 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. Windsor is a word that benefits from the second pass.
