2. 2 Every rhyme I land is getting higher
3. 3 Four on the floor and the crowd goes loud
4. 4 Ball hits the beat and I rock the crowd

Using fire in The Rhyme Game

Because fire flips between one and two syllables, it is flexible on beat four. If you need a tail, add desire or inspire to stretch the line without losing the rhyme.

In the official app, a bar is four beats long and the rhyme word sits on beat four. Build your setup on beats one to three, then land fire or one of its rhymes right on the fourth beat. For the full mechanics, read the how to play guide and the rules.
