Why wiring rhymes the way it does
Wiring sits on the clipped /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 113, assonance 3,080, and consonance 137. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Wiring reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
