The coding gorilla that we trained to help with some of the technical aspects of the radio station loves word games. It’s one of the ways she increases her vocabulary and she is an avid learner. She is a complete beast at Words with Friends; and, out of pity, has been known to let her human counterparts at the station win occasionally.
Anyway, while pursuing mastery of the English language, Amy the coding gorilla discovered a fun type of word game that we’d never played before; but it felt very familiar. It’s a rhyme game and it feels like the kinda thing that’s fun until you realize the grown-ups may have tricked you into learning. We like the game so much here at the station offices that we’ve decided to overlook the trickery and share the game with our listeners! As an added bonus and to compensate for the possible side-effect of learning new words and using up the precious space on your biological hard drive (we don’t like to impose); 48201Radio will be rewarding listeners that win by giving out prizes!!
Prizes!!
How does it work? We’ll go live on the station at an announced time and give the clue. At a later time, we will take live calls on the air for people to submit their solutions. The first correct caller wins!
The game? Simple. First, wee will give a clue statement describing the solution; “obese feline” for instance. This will be followed by the number of letters in each of the words of the solution, like this: “3 and 3″. Oh yeah, for this version of the game all solutions will be two words. The example solution? Fat Cat.
First game coming up this week!
