How to play
Words scroll from right to left toward a glowing hit-line. As each one arrives, press the lane matching its part of speech, noun, verb, adjective or adverb, on the beat. Perfect timing scores the most, and chained hits build a combo that multiplies your score. Mistimed presses or wrong categories break the combo.
Match each word's part of speech as it reaches the line.
Hit on the beat, early, late or wrong breaks your combo.
Perfect timing scores highest; combos multiply your total.
Keep the rhythm flowing to the end of the chart.
