Why wrong rhymes the way it does
The phonology of wrong is a one-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 33 matches, family rhymes 38, additive and subtractive together 66, assonance 6,336, and consonance 382. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Wrong is a word that benefits from the second pass.
