Why workings rhymes the way it does
Workings is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 2, additive and subtractive together 80, assonance 4,983, and consonance 6. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Workings works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
