Preguntas Frecuentes
How do I win a round?
You win a round when the CPU runs out of rhyming words in its pool, or if you successfully keep rhyming without making three mistakes and without letting the timer run out.
What counts as a valid rhyme?
Words in our curated rhyme group for the seed word are accepted. The groups are designed so all members share the same ending sound as the seed word.
Can I use the same word twice?
No — each word can only be used once per round. Using a repeated word counts as a warning (not a strike).
How many hints do I get?
You start each round with 3 hints. Each hint reveals a valid, unused rhyming word from the group.
What difficulty should I start with?
Start with Medium for a balanced experience. Easy gives the CPU a smaller word pool (it runs out sooner) and more time per turn. Hard gives the CPU access to all words in the group.
