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.

RhymePad
A scratchpad for poets & rappers. Write in the pad; rhymes are detected phonetically (CMU Pronouncing Dictionary) and color-coded as you type — end rhymes, internal rhymes, and slant rhymes included. Comes with a rhyme/synonym lookup, draggable stanza reordering, and synthesized beats with adjustable tempo.

How rhyme detection works
- Every word is mapped to its CMU phonemes (
pronouncing), with lyric-friendly fallbacks (runnin'→running, possessives, and a spelling heuristic for made-up words). - Perfect rhymes share everything from the last stressed vowel on
(
tonight/light/flight→AY T). These are matched anywhere in a line — that's the internal rhyme detection. - Slant rhymes share just the vowel sounds from the last stressed
vowel (
hold/coal). Applied to line endings that didn't find a perfect match. - Same color = same sound. Underline = line-ending rhyme (the stanza's a/b/a/b scheme); soft glow only = internal rhyme.
