# Why does Rhyme Genie use that much storage space?

Rhyme Genie has over **10 million rhyme references** that are individually indexed to allow for instant data access. Without these indexes the file size would be significantly smaller but searches would take exponentially longer. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Rhyme Genie also uses over **2500 conditional relationships** that filter the dictionary entries according to the selected rhyme algorithm.
