Understanding the Analysis

Syllable Color Coding

Each syllable gets a colored underline based on its phonetic sound:

  • • Similar sounds get similar colors
  • • Perfect rhymes share identical colors
  • • Near rhymes have similar color families

Example:

cat and hat

Perfect rhyme - same color
