The International Phonetic Alphabet gives "seine" as /seɪn/ and "pain" as /peɪn/, therefore SOMEbody thinks they rhyme.

Sappa, you'd be right if this referred to the river. However, as no nouns are accepted, this is obviously talking about the fishing net pronounced [seɪn]. (The river is pronounced [sɛːn].)

Cant believe I missed mane and pane, Also missed vein and sprain, and skein of which I have never heard. But I did get deign of which I hadnt heard before either. Missing 5 not a bad score I guess, when the average missed 15. Eventhough halfway through I had many gaps still and felt dumb and couldnt think of anything for a while, little black out just staring

"Thane" appears 10 times in Shakespeare's works, while "wain" appears 89 and "fain" appears 152. So if a word's appearance in Shakespeare "keeps it alive" then fain is way more alive-r.

Wain is not a Scottish word for child. It means a cart, so should be there. As should wean, a Scottish word for child, spelled correctly, which rhymes. Seine does not rhyme and is a proper noun

According to the song, name rhymes with rain, right? I've been through a desert on a horse with no name! But seriously, for game and Spain to rhyme, you'd have to think it's accurate to say that Nick Jagger is the lead singer for the Rolling Stomes. Is that what you think?

Since when does seine rhyme with Spain?
SpencerGT

I think that a rhyme starts at the last stressed vowel.

So, the 'p' is spain just comes before the last stressed vowel ('ai').

The 'seine' here is a common noun, which means a type of fishing net (not the proper noun Seine, which is the French river; the river is pronounced /seɪn/ in English or /sɛn/ as in French).

According to Cambridge, "when" is pronounced /wen/, while "Spain" is pronounced /speɪn/. It's a short "e" sound versus a long "a" sound.

Because English is not my native language, I just tried all consonants before -ane and -ain and then added l, r, t after few consonants like in train. Feign and so on, those I missed.

I don't know many of these one syllable words even if I read and write every day in English. It shows that the vocabulary you need in most contexts is always much smaller than all the nuances you could express with language. (I was thinking better word than small, but I cope with that. In Finnish I could choose from ten expressions.)

Perhaps state that dialect words are also not included?

I tried wean (pronounced Wayne: a word for a child used in Glasgow and the surrounding area) and stane (another word for stone often used in Scotland in the phrase dry-stane dyke meaning a wall built by stacking stones without mortar).

Neither were accepted.

I avoided words like fain, ain, ane, cain, etc., assuming they would be considered archaic and/or foreign. To me, twain seems like an archaic term for two.

I decided to look it up after starting this comment, and the very first sentence in the definition states that it's an archaic term. I'd advice removing it.

I went down a brief rathole on the "archaic" vs. "not archaic" distinction. The quiz seems sort-of consistent with Wiktionary, which has:

twain - "dated"

thane - "historical"

wain - "archaic or literary"

fain - "archaic"

The only correction I think would be appropriate for the quiz is to include "wain", as Wiktionary does not only list it as archaic; or to show the source that you're using for deciding if a word is actually archaic or not.

I got them all, but entirely agree with posters who think fain and wain should be included. No more archaic than thane, which presumably most people only know from Macbeth. But then how many of these words would people still use from the most famous of all Shakespeare's speeches: 'when he might his quietus make with a bare bodkin, who would fardels bear...'

Fun quiz!

Just wanted to add my vote that fain (eager), tain (a thin sheet of tin), and wain (a cart) should be added.

I would also submit that jane, as a generic word for a female human, should be included, though I can understand the logic of omitting it. (It's in the official Scrabble dictionaries, if that carries any weight, lol!)
