Why wolves rhymes the way it does
Wolves sits on the front /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 3,371, and consonance 28. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for wolves tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
