Why wrinkle rhymes the way it does
Wrinkle is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 90, assonance 12,551, and consonance 11. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 wrinkle tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
