# Phonetic Repetitions

The intelligent rhyme distinguishes between **rhymes** and **phonetic repetitions**. A rhyme is classified as a pair of words in which the accented vowels and all succeeding sounds are identical while the sounds preceding the accented vowels differ. Phonetic repetitions occur when the sounds preceding the accented vowels are also identical.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can view phonetic repetitions by tapping/clicking on the ‘=’ button to **increase** the **similarity in sound** until you have reached the **highest degree**. Since phonetic repetitions produce less audible friction, which leads to a weaker resolve, they are excluded from the initial search results.
