No opponent yet? Write alone: a rhyme arrives, the clock runs, nothing kept.

How to play

  1. Open a duel and share its link with your opponent
  2. The game draws a rhyme, and who opens
  3. Take turns answering each other in four-line verses, lines 1, 2 and 4 on the rhyme, never a rhyme word twice
  4. Read the whole duel together: hearts and badges in the peaceful mode, points for every verse on the form in the competitive one

Choose your mode

You can choose when you open the game too; choose here, and the form opens on that mode.
