One word on the fourth beat.

That is all you need to get started. You do not have to write lyrics, find rhymes, or know how to rap.

Try a round →

1. Read first, then get ready

Read the word or full line, then press Let’s play. Each line stays on screen for four preparation beats before your turn. Start at 80 BPM and four bars for your first round.

2. Say the word on four

Let the first three beats go by. When the fourth pad lights up, say the large word aloud. The next line starts with another four-beat reading break.

BEAT 1Listen
BEAT 2Listen
BEAT 3Get ready
BEAT 4light

After the next reading break, say night. Light and night rhyme because their ending sounds match.

3. Try a little more flow

Choose Follow a line to see a short phrase across the four pads. For example:

BEAT 1Turn
BEAT 2on
BEAT 3the
BEAT 4light

Then try Freestyle and make up your own line that ends in the target word. You can say several syllables on a beat or leave a little silence. One word per pad is a beginner exercise, not a rule for all rap.

What the controls do

No microphone is required. This version cannot tell whether you pronounced a word correctly. The optional tap test only checks the timing of your taps; it does not score your voice.

If you lose the beat

Pause, take a breath, and restart slowly. Say only the last word until the rhythm feels comfortable. If you switch tabs, the game pauses automatically.
