Had not heard of it, thanks for sharing! I tend to think it’s good to follow one’s muse and make something useful for oneself and friends rather than over focus on “competitors”

I took this approach for my last two projects (Water Cooler Trivia and Twofer Goofer) and ultimately was able to scale and sell both with a lot of elbow grease!

When's the next one? How big does an eclipse need to be to start wreaking havoc on the grid? Or is that a "never" situation still?

In the article, I mention that Twofer Goofer requires perfect or strict rhyme. Perfect and strict rhyme require that all syllables are pronounced identically in the speaker's tongue (for me, American Midwest accent), except for the first sound of the word which can vary.

Hence pooh-teen and proh-tein do not rhyme. Skell-ih-tin and Gell-ih-tin do rhyme.

A game like this requires a pretty tight rhyming definition to not annoy players in a given day!

Thanks for reading: https://www.masterclass.com/articles/perfect-vs-imperfect-rh...

I tried it both ways; with individual prompts and prompts in bulk. I ran both tests the same way. There's a tradeoff in writing a legible/interesting blog post and relating step-by-step the way the evaluation was ran! Appreciate you reading and the feedback :)

From Chicago ... and with more than a thousand solves on that puzzle we've never received a single complaint about the rhyme on that one (plus the stats say users find it an extremely easy rhyme to solve)! Curious how you pronounce that one such that they don't rhyme?

Hi! I've kept a reading journal for each year in the past decade, and this year I decided to move to the digital realm... so I've made a dead-simple website where you can submit your favorite books (or albums!) of any year at a Google Form, then our team will turn it into your personal Yearly Faves page.

I'll be seeding this with famous readers (yearly-faves.com/oprah) and there's an index of all the folks who have submitted: yearly-faves.com/everyone!
