Why woodland rhymes the way it does
Woodland sits on the short /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 121 matches, family rhymes 18, additive and subtractive together 188, assonance 10,420, and consonance 433. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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. Woodland rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
