All Rhymes, All The Time

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I’ve taken seven phrases, each with two four-letter words, and replaced each word with a rhyme. (For instance, LAMB CHOP might become BAM POP.) I’ve also given you clues to each of the answer phrases. The rhymes and the clues are not presented in the same order. Can you rhyme your way to all the right answers?

AIM THROW
CLIMB THRONE
CLOSE FIVE
QUACK ROAR
SHOOT SPEAR
THAT BLOOM
WRONG YACHT

1. Alternative entry into a house
2. Wheel of Fortune, for example
3. Central, Mountain, or Pacific
4. Place to talk online
5. Soda flavor
6. Rapid descent
7. Event that’s very unlikely to occur
