"smell like a" was matching "myself why" (EH-AY) because mosaic triples
were never weak-flagged — a trailing article "a" (bare open vowel)
dangles and isn't part of the rhyme. Triples now skip an open-syllable
stopword tail, while closed ones ("mean to it" -> theme music) stay.

meticulous (me-TIC-ulous, IH-K under -ulous) was consonance-rhyming
quick. Consonance now fires only when the stressed vowel is within one
syllable of the word end — people/sleep still rhymes, meticulous/quick
doesn't. Gated the projection side too, so a long-rime group stops
advertising a misleading stressed-syllable consonance.

Strength is now per token, not per family — a word that only slant-
matches its family (placement riding creation/elation's -ation core)
caps at 0.6 while the perfect anchors stay at 1.0. The gradient now
lives within a single color, showing each word's own grip on the rhyme.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The fill (and tail underline) now scale through a per-group strength
from the founding key: perfect 1.0, multisyllabic .82, consonant-
backed .7, vowel slant .6, consonance .55, weak ending .5. So the
page reads rhyme quality as a smooth brightness ramp, not just
perfect-vs-slant — the feature, deepened.

A line ending that rhymes with nothing but sits one phoneme from
another ending in the stanza (hand/bond — one vowel apart) gets a
dotted gold underline: a tiny edit would lock it. Restricted to
genuinely-open endings, so it never duplicates the slant/consonance
detection (which already catches same-vowel near-rhymes).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Whole rhyming word fills dimly; a bright underline marks just the
rhyming part (tonight -> under 'ight'), so the precise interlock shows
without the fill looking ragged when the phoneme->letter guess is a
letter off. Removed 'scheme' from the toolbar readout.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
#4: caret in a colored word names its family in the readout —
"rhymes ay t — night, light, flight". The colors stop being a mystery.
#5: slant rhymes render at 62% of a perfect rhyme's fill, so the page
shows match strength, not just match presence.

Each blank-line-separated stanza is its own rhyme scheme. The perfect-
rhyme pass is now keyed per stanza, and the multi/coda fusion steps
won't union families across stanza boundaries (slant/multi/consonance
buckets were already stanza-keyed). light/night in verse 1 no longer
links to bright/sight in verse 2.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
middle / unavoidable shared only a schwa+L tail — the weak-ending rule
firing on a reduced vowel. Weak endings now require a full final vowel
(infancy/see on IY stays). Surfaced that swimmers' plural -s blocked
its coda from nesting with finisher; a trailing sibilant is inflection,
so it's stripped from the coda tag — Wayne's chain stays whole, garbage
(JH) still stays out.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
garbage/javascript were joining dollar/scholar's AA-x group via the
attach path, which lacked the coda-class guard the bucket path has.
Now a bare V-x key attaches only when the token's coda nests with the
group's — same rule both paths. syrup/burden was the same looseness
(ER-schwa, mismatched coda) and now correctly splits; the real
stir-up/were-up perfect phrase matches stay.

The Python diss put pink on five different families: 18 families, 12
colors, and the assignment kept grabbing low indices so one hue piled
up. Now 16 colors (added cyan, amber, lavender, emerald) and each
family takes the globally least-used non-adjacent color, so hues
spread evenly — no color repeats more than twice on a dense page.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Slant/multi attachment, multi buckets, and unequal-length containment
fusion now require members within ~6-8 lines. "All Me" was chaining
Baby/Mercedes/loan/being/Daddy into one teal family across 110 lines;
vowel assonance is local evidence, not global. Perfect rhymes and
equal-key fusion stay global (a real rhyme carries any distance).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The spotlight exposed forever/question/extra/sequential as one EH-x
family. Three fixes:
- phrases obey refrain muting (the «Forever ever» carpet)
- bare V-x buckets subdivide by nesting final-coda classes, so
placement (NT) keeps creation (N) but forever (.) releases
sequential (L); phrases ride the main cluster
- single-vowel suffix fusion requires member coda sets to nest
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
r9/r10/r11 were a pale pink, a second teal, and a second orange — now
rose, indigo, and chartreuse. Color assignment stops being gid % 12:
each family picks the first hue not worn by families on its own or
neighboring lines, so similar colors never sit next to each other.

- Multis: dictionary search by vowel skeleton — single words and
two-word combos matching the target's run from its stressed anchor
(charisma -> little/women/business; vacation plans -> information
back). Perfect rhymes excluded; phrases supported as targets; new
"multis" row in the rhymes section. Indexes warm at boot.
- Counts toggle: syllables per line in dim digits at the editor's
right edge, wrap-safe and live; carried into the PNG export.
- Suffix fusion: multi families whose vowel keys are end-aligned
containments merge (back pocket / rap profit / off it / still in
office = one Em chain), with trailing schwas stripped before
comparison; the longest end token now owns the scheme slot.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Same-vowel perfect families fuse when both live at line ends:
blood/mud + thugs/drugs (+does/love/enough) read as Kanye's one AH
chain; mid-line families keep their codas distinct
- Annotation lines (#, [, ( starts) render in a dim ink — the
highlight layer now owns the glyph color (textarea text is
transparent over it), in the editor and the PNG export
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
(justify greed) now lights up with need/breed as internal rhyme; the
ending slot stays with the last word outside parens, so (yeah) tails
still can't set the scheme. The old all-or-nothing exclusion is gone.

One lookup renders the whole entry — phonetic readout as a plain
header (card chrome and dismiss gone), describes, rhymes by syllable
(+near), synonyms always fully expanded — with collapsed sections
behind "more…", a clickable history trail, and lookups firing as you
type (Go button and mode seg removed).
Multi-word lookups work: phrases read straight through for the
phonetic readout, rhyme on their final word (labeled), and hit
WordNet compounds for synonyms (new york -> Empire State).

four/door and inch/hinge were pure mirrors of «four-inch»/«door
hinge» yet their word fills painted over the orange-family phrase
color. A word group living entirely inside one family's phrases now
dissolves, so the phrase color paints the whole compound.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Identical words/phrases no longer form a color group on their own — a
group colors only once a differing word rhymes into it. Repeated
endings still share a scheme letter (refrains scan), and a repeated
unrhymed ending no longer flags as "unanswered".

CMU's unstressed "this" (DH IH0 S) has no stressed vowel, so its
rhyming part included the onset and founded a consonant-led key the
coda-nest fuse couldn't parse — repeated "this" fell out of the
wrist/assist/shit chain in full songs. Rimes now always start at a
vowel.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Single-vowel perfect families whose coda classes nest fuse into one
chain: wrist (IH S T) hubs this (IH S) and shit (IH T), which ride
as slant satellites — Logic's hook reads as one color
- Final s/z voicing neutralizes in coda classes and weak-ending keys:
vamonos rhymes dominoes
- The drafts bar wraps instead of scrolling, so many drafts stay
visible
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two starred ideas, zero new chrome:
- Rhythm dots take a shared color when 2+ lines have the identical
stress contour (5+ syllables) — flow rhymes, visible
- Line-endings with no rhyme partner get a faint gray fill in the
rhyme layer: the open loops that show where to strike next
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Rhyme/synonym chips already in your draft get a gold tick
- Word card shows WordNet sense count (3+) — double-entendre fuel
- "alliteration" toggle underlines words sharing an initial sound
(locally clustered, 3+ words), in the editor and the PNG export:
fills = tail sound, underlines = head sound
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Inline (parentheticals) are delivery, not text — they no longer rhyme
or steal the line-ending slot ("...bunch (yeah)" rhymes on bunch).
The readout leads with "bar 3/16" for the caret's place in its verse.

Optional "stress" toggle renders ●/○ dots beneath every 2+ syllable
word (filled = stressed) in a transparent overlay behind the textarea,

Drops the dictionaryapi.dev meanings/examples entirely. The lookup
panel ("Rhymes & words") now shows a phonetic readout for the word —
/phones/, syllables, stress, rhyming tail, sounds-like (homophones),
and what it rhymes with in your draft — over Rhymes / Synonyms lists.
RhymeZone-inspired touches kept: rarity-styled chips (common bold,
rare dimmed) and homophones.

The two-word generator goes (the /api/word phonetics card stays);
the definition card now belongs to the word — switching Rhymes/

until a new word is looked up.

Anchoring at the first vowel instead of the stressed rime lets
tonight rebuild as "a night"; single-letter left words return with a

The pass-4 suppression predates fills-only rendering; mind/time now
pair even while «all this time» rides its mosaic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Mosaics submode: two-word phrases that rhyme with a word perfectly,
built by splitting its rime and searching both halves with reduced-
vowel squeezing (placement -> place meant, creation -> way shun)
- Definition cards show phonetic anatomy (/phones/ · syllables ·
stress dots · the rhyming tail) and what the word already rhymes
with in your draft
- Secondary pronunciations only claim partners within 4 lines, so the
verb pred-i-KATE can't hand predicate to a distant hook's "eight"
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Words a draft uses 4+ times (niggas, bitch, Money) stop lighting up
mid-line — their line-end uses still rhyme. Consonance clusters break

A phrase run with <2 full vowels can't barge into a word family

The -er weak key was claiming commissioner/finisher before the
multisyllabic pass could unite them with militia — Wayne's chain
split into two colors. Weak endings (infancy/see) now run dead last.

AO merges into AA except before R (thought/lot, off/forgotten; car/
core stay apart). Line-ending phrases may rhyme on their pure vowel
run like end words always could — "forgotten" / "off of" lands.

The weak-end key is now the full final-syllable rime in its own
keyspace, and groups advertise their founding rime's final syllable:
infancy still joins see/be/me (open IY), but screams (IY M Z) no
longer rides the divinity/entirety family.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
stasis (STAH-seez?!) and kinda (KIH-nda) get corrected primaries;
the dict entry stays as a secondary candidate. Oasis of stasis now
glows as the perfect rhyme it is.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Feminine rhymes anchor on the unstressed final syllable: infancy
joins see/be/me (Lateralus). End-slant pass tries the bare final

CMU's fear (IH R) now rhymes with hear/here (IY R) as it does in

Prufrock's "is it" / "visit" are phone-for-phone identical; identity
evidence overrides the anchor rule. Stopword-anchored phrases still

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Groups advertise members' high-specificity mosaic keys (2+ full
vowels) for attachment, and a both-halves-taken phrase may join any
family except its anchor's own — Gambino's "pass the time" now ties
to mastermind/rind across the Mass/pass claim.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three-word vowel mosaics (mean to it / seen do it / theme music) now
group, gated hard: the mosaic must draw a full vowel beyond its anchor
word, and all-phrase buckets mirroring the same two word groups stay
suppressed. Scheme readout truncates at 16 letters; draft tabs cap at
170px with ellipsis.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
four-inch and door hinge join the orange/storage/porridge clan even
though four/door and inch/hinge each rhyme on their own — a phrase
whose target group differs from both halves' groups carries new
information. The full orange verse is now a test.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a slant group's founding key is vowel-only but 2+ members agree
on a coda (orange/pourage both AO-R-schwa), the consensus key is part
of the group's sound — door hinge joins from its own line now.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
beast mode / sleep though / seats though: the though half rhyming
shouldn't suppress the phrase that carries the beast/sleep/seats half.
Pure-redundancy phrases (oh my over oh+my) still yield.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- V+schwa phrases now need their coda consonant to agree with the
family they join: door hinge keeps orange's R, sloth hugs no longer
rides over/shoulder. 3-vowel and full-vowel phrase runs unchanged.
- Synonyms lemmatize the query (keys -> key) and return sections:
synonyms, opposites, broader, related (antonyms, hypernyms,
satellites, derivational forms) — frequency-ranked, deduped.

KET-a-mine can now rhyme from its first primary stress, not just its
