First off, I've already had a quiz like this published. Second, I don't know what accent you use where words that end in
r
rhyme with words that end in
a
, but I'll guarantee you that most people don't pronounce words that way. Third,
nobody on Earth
has an accent that allows "gnarly" to rhyme with "Mali".

@kicking222 in my accent (Estuary English) gnarly and Mali rhyme perfectly.

I was gonna guess Bostonian. I really think you need to specify the accent in the title or instructions. These are by no means commonly accepted rhymes.

Caius, flixuk and adidag0, thanks for the comments. Yes, I'm British and like flixuk (and most of the UK) I pronounce gnarly and Mali the same way. I tested this quiz on a bunch of UK friends and none of them had a problem. It's interesting how regional accents make such a difference. The comments on Kicking222's quiz also testify to this. I suppose rhyming quizzes will always be difficult to please on an international scale. Thank you for playing!

I'd have more of a problem with Katie/Haiti myself... also with Catarrh/Qatar, the stress goes on a different syllable making them sound totally different

Yeah I'm from Malta and I had no problem with the quiz. You have to just appreciate that different people have different accents.. then it's quite an easy game actually
