The Rhyme Game FAQ
Rules, scoring, rhyme judging and the daily challenge — the questions players actually ask about The Rhyme Game.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. The Rhyme Game runs free in a modern browser with no account, download or installation. Press Play now on the homepage to start a round.
Does microphone mode check whether my words rhyme?
No. Microphone mode checks whether your voice lands in the answer window; it does not identify the words you say. Use typed mode when you want dictionary-based rhyme checking.
Does a perfect rhyme always score 100 points?
No. A perfect rhyme receives full rhyme credit, but the typed-answer score also depends on timing and difficulty. Recognized slant rhymes receive half rhyme credit before the timing multiplier is applied.
Why is a word missing or marked unknown?
The game checks a shipped pronunciation dictionary, not spelling. An uncommon name, slang term or alternate pronunciation may not be indexed yet. Try a more common word with the same ending sound.
When does the daily challenge reset?
At midnight UTC. Everyone receives the same beat, word theme and rhyme scheme for that calendar date, and you can replay the round as often as you like before the next reset.
Where are my scores and streak stored?
Round history and the daily streak are stored locally in this browser. There is no account or cloud sync, so clearing site data or switching browsers or devices resets that local progress.
What should I do if sound or microphone access does not work?
Press Play to let the browser start audio. For microphone mode, allow microphone access in the browser's site settings and try again. If permission or hardware is unavailable, typed mode still works without a microphone.
Is recording required, and is my audio uploaded?
Recording is optional and only appears after microphone mode is enabled. When supported by the browser, the round is assembled locally for you to download; the site does not upload that recording.
