How It Works

You'll see a prompt word at the top of the screen
Type a word you think rhymes with the prompt
Press Enter or tap Submit to check your answer
Watch the letter tiles change color to see how close you are

Understanding the Colors

Points are awarded based on how quickly you solve each puzzle:

3 points — Solved on first try

Tips for Success

Use the CLUE word — it's another word that rhymes with the answer, giving you a phonetic starting point
Focus on perfect rhymes — the answer always shares the exact vowel sound and ending with the prompt
Count the letter tiles — the answer is always the same length as the prompt word
With only 3 tries, every guess counts — make sure each guess rhymes with the prompt
