REVIEWS:
"A simple but addictive word game for everyone to try…a fun concept that gets the old gray matter ticking." — 148Apps.com
"Great word game…We'd whole heartedly recommend giving this a look."– Pocket-lint.com
"This is a fun and challenging word game" — iPhoneAppCafe.com
"simple but very fun" — Crazy Mike's Apps
"Fun, addictive and free!" — PlusOneApps.com
"Not only the game is easy to understand, but also the application itself is extremely easy to use. So, if you want to be entertained and to have some quality time when playing an application on your Apple device, I recommend to play this one, because as the developer himself says, now it’s time to rhyme!" — iPhoneKicks.com
"will challenge you and make words fun again" — iAppGuide.com
EASY TO LEARN:
We give you a short clue like “swine toupee” and you have to come up with a two word rhyming answer that means the same thing … like “pig wig.”
Easy peasy, right?
Can you figure out the two word rhyming answer for “criminal crustacean?" Think the Godfather meets melted butter and a seafood bib. That right! The answer is “mobster lobster.”
COLORFUL GRAPHICS:
Does a word game have to be visually boring? No way, Jose! Hey, even word game lovers deserve some visual bling. And we’ve got your bling right here, baby! The more puzzles you solve, the more cool firework displays you unlock—from soaring sunflower fireworks to frisky fish, from erupting volcano fireworks to exploding super novas.
TONS OF ACHIEVEMENTS:
Collect tons of achievements and improve your rhyming rank. Can you go from “Poet and don’t know it” all the way up to “Freakin’ Shakespeare?”
CLEVER PUZZLES:
There are 11 different puzzle packs (1 FREE pack plus 10 in-app purchase packs) to tease your brain and tickle your funny bone. You can choose from “Animals” to “Food” and from “Celebs” to fictional “Characters.” There’s even a brain busting “Challenge” pack for all you super savvy wordsters out there.
So if word games FLOAT your BOAT,
don't be TARDY to this PARTY…
It's TIME to RHYME!!
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We gave you five we played it so long ago we tried playing it again thats too easy we wish you would come outWith a Raimi Stamey too and Im not going to try to rewrite the right names for the fourth time.
This is not your average SAME GAME. No, RhymieStymie is brought to you by WISE GUYS who know how to make a SUBLIME TIME out of making rhymes out of ABSURD WORDS. They have a BETTER LETTER setup than most, and they even have a PURTY QWERTY option. These JOKE FOLKS put out amazing puzzles, but we can only give you an AMPLE SAMPLE. For instance, we get azure footwear. Thats BLUE SHOE. Its so FUNNY, HONEY. So pick up this CROWN, and you cant put it DOWN.
We absolutely love this game! We've never encountered another came like it. Please arrange the keyboard in the standard QWERTY layout, or at least make it an option. Our times would be faster with the standard keyboard option! Outstanding game, though.
We're not much for games. We try to stick to writing and rhyming. But when we're burnt out on just plain writing we still like to train our brain to find more rhymes- this is super fun once you "get it"! Thanks a bunch.
Good game app. Good brain drain- HA.
But… We know this game. We started playing this on a radio show called loveline with dr drew and psycho mike, they call the game 'Stinky Pinky'. Lol great game. Can't wait for it to finish downloading so we can play! 5 stars all the way.
We love this app … No clues to buy … Just another 100 tries … Not a buster at the end of a day!! Love this corny app. Thank u whoever thought of this.
Hey just let you know a Green Beret is Army not the Marines.. But fun app.
The game is fun, but is very glitchy and closes itself almost every time we try to play it.
Totally worth the 4.99 for the whole enchilada of Rhymie Stymie Plus. Play with friends & fam.
Fun game so far, but you move thru levels quickly so not sure how long the fee pack will last. We take that back. We spoke too soon. The higher numbers in the level make you think more.
It was fun, but we completed the first level in less than 24 hours. Now it's worthless unless we purchase more levels. Kind of a rip off in that sense.
Is it fun? Yes. But, if you're good at this and want to play the full range of games, you have to be prepared to pay $11.00!!!! We think that's outrageous! No word play is worth that much money considering what great stuff is available for free. Rhymie Crimey.
We remember this concept as one of the most creative Jeopardy! Categories, and this game takes that premise and runs with it major big time. It's so much fun when the solution dawns on you, always makes us smile. Definitely gonna be purchasing the full version, can't get enough.
We love this game except for the fact on the second game of some packs. It gives us two stymies and takes away 5 hints. Also an option to pay $4.99 should pop up. We have added games and would have paid the full price.
We also enjoy its sister game, chain of thought. However, we wish we had an option to turn the animation off as it distracts us. Besides that, it's a fun, creative word game.
Pls add an option that a timer can be turned off as we can have extra time to think. This is pretty good.
Just got the game and started puzzle #1, right when we put the last letter to make the words, it freezes for a sec and then shuts down. Every time! Can't wait to play, looks fun but can't get past first words.. Is there a bug.
Love this game. Fun, and you don't have to think tooooo hard :-). Good for older kids too. Comes with a starter pack of 85 phrases to guess, and other packs available for .99 Very cute really.
This is a refreshing change to the typical word games. The only thing preventing us from purchasing the full version is the game does not rotate so you can use it landscape on the iPad. If they ever fix that, we will definitely buy the full game.
Fun game. Very enjoyable. Would be nice to have the option of changing the keyboard layout to 'QWERTY'.
Are there any plans to offer a 'one price gets you all current and future levels'? We love this game but we can't afford $1 for every single additional level. We'd pay $5 to get all current and future, but as it is we'll probably sadly remove this game after we finish the starter pack. Sadly because it's creative, unusual, and great fun. But it's also too pricey at that per-level cost for something that we'll breeze quickly through. Eta: much as we feared, we finished the starter pack in a little bit of play in two days. If there was a more cost effective option like a flat fee to get all current and future packs, we would do so. Also the lack of a one-button replay is annoying. We'd like to play through the puzzles again with our godchild but it's too annoying that we can't restart with puzzle one.
We finished all the levels and want MORE … Where are new groups.
Amazing fun and awesome kept us entertained for days and the graphics are really good.
This game is so fun and addictive for when you need a distraction. Cute graphics too.
We especially enjoyed the exploding letters. It made us stay engaged, alert, and happy.
We're having so much fun with this game.
Awesome graphics and sounds. Entertains many ages.
Rhymie Stymie is a fantastic game. Fun, funny and makes you use your brain. We loved the game's design and graphics (the different fireworks and achievements are a great touch). The puzzles are fun and frequently hilarious. You really get a sense that the game's designer had a great time in creating the game and that is reflected in the user experience. Overall, Rhymie Stymie is one of the best word games that we have played for iPhone/iPad. Highly recommended.
It's definitly going to become popular. We were entertained for 2 hours straight.
NOT TOTALLY FREE! They hook you, then you have to pay to play.
