Rhyme Time

Cap off each line with a word that chimes with its partner and still makes sense.

How to play

A short poem appears with its end-words missing. Choose the option that both rhymes with the line it must echo and fits the meaning, keeping the verse's rhyme scheme intact as it changes from stanza to stanza.

• Read the line and spot which earlier line it must rhyme with
• Pick the word that rhymes and makes sense
• Follow the scheme as it shifts between verses
• Complete the poem to score the round

Tips & strategy

• Identify the rhyme scheme early — ABAB and AABB demand different end-words
• Sound matters more than spelling; trust your ear over the letters
• If two options rhyme, let the meaning of the line break the tie
