Soooooooo... n00b question. Is the goal of this game to find a word that rhymes with the first word based on the hint and letter count?
I've never tried it.

Nope, it's a single Cryptic Crossword Clue[^] and follows normal CCC rules: discombobulate, misdirect, and confuse the reader as much as possible!
Punctuation is (normally) to be ignored (but not necessarily) as it's rarely helpful, and you'll find anagrams which have "keyword" indicators which include (but aren't limited to) "free", "about", and "could be" - there is a list here[^] which is nearly comprehensive.
For example, one episode of the TV show Drop the Dead Donkey had one character (Henry Davenport) trying to get the final clue on his crossword for a whole day: "gegs (9, 4)" the solution being "Scrambled eggs" ...

Thanks for that. This scares me, but it also makes me want to try it.

Oh, and the prize for solving it first is that you get to post it the next working day.

Maunder has not been part of my vocabulary until now.

Nope. I can't get a seven letter answer here, but I don't see how one of the letters fits. I'm missing something so I'm getting nowhere.

He's not wrong - when you get it, it'll be obvious!

I got the dog to kick me just in case I missed. I was stuck on aimlessly being an anagram indicator.

I see what you did there.

Answer it then

For me, most of these are not interesting ... bill no game/rpg/etc. not in the job market ... but, i found the one where you ask GPT what kind of prompts to give DallE to get DallE to create certain types of images ... interesting. [^]

Helping write emails. You can specify a number of params, like tone. It does this very well.

i think of how hyper-polite the Thai I speak ... to Thais ... may seem to the English I speak to my mother-tongue peers ... imagine every other distinct morpheme decorated with "sir," or "madam."
Lots of issues of linguistic context, even in technical communication.
