Why workday rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for workday starts at the vowel — a long-a that lifts the line, IPA /eɪ/ — and ends where the line ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 110, assonance 4,275, and consonance 22. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Workday pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
