When you fill in blanks in this game, the number of syllables per word, and the ways in which these syllables are accented, is key. Please use this as a reference, in case you’ve forgotten this stuff:
- Iambic: destroy
- Anapestic: intervene
- Trochaic: topsy
- Dactylic: merrily
- Spondaic: hum drum
- If there’s no mention of feet (i.e., no “iambic” or “trochaic,” etc.), then the word must be monosyllabic.
- Note also that “verb ending in -ed” simply means “past tense verb.”
Here are the templates. Click on one of them; fill in the blanks; then see what you’ve got:
