Why woods rhymes the way it does
Woods is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a back /uห/, then it softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 4, additive and subtractive together 11, assonance 4,121, and consonance 275. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Woods pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
