Why worldwide rhymes the way it does

In our engine, worldwide registers as a two-syllable word on the full-throated /aษช/ (/i/) that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 148 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 119, assonance 2,930, and consonance 817. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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 worldwide tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ€” and often prefers โ€” the slant.
