About this game

Improve your rhyming skills with this game!

"Rhyme Game" is a Japanese rhyme game where you respond to presented words in rhythm with rhyming words or phrases within a time limit.

Whether you're a fan of Japanese rap, freestyle, songwriting, or lyric writing, or a complete beginner wondering "How do I rhyme?", you can naturally develop a sense of rhyme while playing.

This isn't just a game where you find words with perfectly matching vowels.

Our unique rhyme judgment engine analyzes vowel matching, consonant proximity, and even the sound of the beginning and end of words.

It judges the pleasingness of the sound in stages, such as "Perfect Rhyme," "Rhyming," and "Sounding Rhyme."

■ Respond with rhymes immediately to match the prompts

Words appear as prompts one after another in the game.

Enter the words you think of and submit them, and the rhyme will be judged on the spot.

You can respond not only with single words, but also with sentences like rap lyrics and longer phrases.

Supports text containing hiragana, katakana, and kanji.

Even when entered as a sentence, it automatically recognizes and determines the important parts for rhyme.

"I thought of something, but is it okay to enter it in kanji?"

"I want to reply not just with one word, but like a punchline."

You can input it as is, even in such cases.

■ Not just end rhyme. Alliteration is also possible.

In addition to the commonly used "end rhyme" where words end in the same way, it also supports "alliteration" where words begin in the same way.

It evaluates each answer from both end rhyme and alliteration, and adopts the better one.

You can create rhymes with your own ideas, without being bound by a fixed answer format.

Rhyme at the end of a word.

Rhyme at the beginning of a word.

Connect with sound.

Enjoy the unique wordplay of Japanese freely.

■ Rhyme dictionary with over 82,000 words

In addition to the game, it also includes a "rhyme dictionary" for finding rhymes.

With a vocabulary of over 82,000 words, you can search for rhyming suggestions that match the word you enter.

"What words rhyme with this word?"

"I'm writing lyrics, but I can't think of the next word."

"I want to find different rhymes to broaden my range of expression."

In such cases, simply open the rhyme dictionary.

You can switch between end rhyme and alliteration in your search, and it also supports reverse lookup from vowel patterns.

Suggestions are displayed considering not only rhyme evaluation but also commonly used words, making it useful for songwriting and freestyle idea generation.

You can tap on a suggestion you're interested in to have it read aloud.

You can check the sound not only visually but also aurally.

■ "Real-time preview" where you can see the rhymes

As you type, the sequence of sounds between the prompt and answer is displayed in real time, mora by mora.

You can visually check which sounds fit together,

from "It kind of feels right"

to
"This fits, and it sounds good"


Without giving away too many answers, it allows you to intuitively understand the mechanics of rhyme while leaving room for your own thinking.

■ You can also answer by voice

In addition to keyboard input, it also supports voice input using a microphone.

You can answer by voice with the words that come to mind.

In freestyle practice, it's sometimes easier to maintain tempo by speaking the words that come to mind aloud rather than typing them out.

In such cases, you can answer instantly with the microphone.

It also supports automatic reading of the prompts, so you can play while looking at the screen or listening.

■ Normal Mode with 10 Questions

Normal mode has 10 questions in total.

In the beginning, you have more time to think, and as you progress, the time limit becomes shorter, and the required level of rhyme also increases.

Your score changes depending on the quality of your correct answers, the remaining time, and consecutive correct answers.

Aim for a high score by hitting perfect rhymes and chaining combos.

Your best score is saved on your device.

"I can come up with rhymes more quickly than before."

"I can create longer rhymes than before."

You can feel this kind of improvement.

■ Unlimited Mode for Unlimited Play

When you want to think carefully, use Unlimited Mode.

No time limit.

You can continue rhyming as much as you like without worrying about your score.

Recommended for beginner practice, warming up before songwriting, wordplay, and vocabulary training.

The difficulty of the questions increases every three, so the more you play, the more challenging words you can tackle.

■ "See the Answer" if You Don't Know

If you absolutely can't think of one, you can also see the answer.

Multiple highly-rated candidates are displayed from the dictionary.

Since candidates are provided from both end rhyme and alliteration,

"I never thought of that way of rhyming!"

This can lead to new discoveries.

It's not a case of giving up after a failure; you can increase the number of rhymes you can use next time.

■ Automatically Records Successful Rhymes

Successful rhymes during the game are saved in the "Rhyme Record."

You can review your rhymes, including whether they are complete rhymes, rhymes that sound similar, the ratio of end rhymes to alliteration, frequently used vowels, the date you played, and high-scoring rhymes.

You can see what kind of rhymes you find easy to rhyme and which vowels you use most often, so the more you play, the more your own rhyme history grows.

■ Even if you make a mistake, you can try again as many times as you like within the time limit.

When you're thinking of rhymes, you'll often hear "almost" or "not quite."

In this game, as long as there's time remaining, you can re-enter words without penalty even if you make a mistake.

The goal isn't just to get the correct answer on the first try.

By trying several words,

"This vowel is close,"

"This ending fits better,"

The process of getting closer to the answer yourself is practice in itself.

Even if you don't get the correct answer, you can check the model answer, so you can learn new word and rhyme combinations with each play.

■ Evaluating the Sound of Japanese Beyond Just "Perfect Match"

Japanese rhymes don't always sound the same just because the vowels are identical.

This app's evaluation combines factors such as the perfect vowel match, the sound of similar vowels and consonants, and the importance of the matching sounds.

The evaluation is primarily displayed in the following stages:

"Perfect Rhyme"

"Rhyme-Mighty"

"Rhyme-Mighty"

You can aim for perfectly matched, satisfying rhymes.

You can also search for rhymes with a slightly different, more nuanced sound.

Even with the same theme, there isn't just one correct answer.

That's why it tests not only memorization but also creativity.

■ For Word Lovers, Not Just Rappers

Rhyme isn't just for rap.

It connects to expressions using the "sound" of Japanese, such as copywriting, poetry, lyrics, naming, puns, and wordplay.

Find words in the rhyme dictionary.

Test your quick thinking with games.

Review your records to understand your tendencies.

Try rhyming with a different theme.

By repeating this process, you'll encounter word combinations you wouldn't normally think of.

Even if you've never rapped before, that's okay.

First, simply respond to the displayed theme with words that sound similar.

As you play, you'll gradually develop an awareness of vowels and morae.

■ Play at Your Own Pace

We offer a normal mode for aiming for a high score in a short time, and an unlimited mode for unlimited thinking, so you can play according to your mood.

Just 10 questions during your commute or school run.

Take your time with unlimited mode before bed.

Search for candidates in the rhyme dictionary before writing lyrics.

Warm up with a few questions before freestyle.

You can use "Game," "Practice," and "Dictionary" all within one app.

■ Your Rhymes are on Your Device

Your successful rhyme records are saved on your device, and you can review up to the latest 500 entries.

You can track your progress by reviewing the date you rhymed, your rank, rhymes/alliterations, and your score.

Faster than yesterday.

Longer than yesterday.

More enjoyable than yesterday.

This game isn't just about knowing words; it's about increasing the number of rhymes you can actually produce.

■ A fast-paced experience with BGM and sound effects

The app includes a built-in BGM player.

You can switch songs, play/pause, and play at your own pace.

Sound effects are included for correct and incorrect answers, emphasizing a satisfying gaming experience.

More than just a rhyme search tool, it's a word game you'll want to try again and again.
