You’ve made it here – brave move! So, how does our Christmas rhyme calculator actually work? Here’s your step-by-step guide. From first click to finished rhyme. No prior knowledge required (though mulled wine may help).
The machine you’re using is powered by experimental Christmas magic (v1.0). Tengbom AB takes no responsibility for rhyme quality, grammatical oddities or any potential disappointment from recipients. The system may contain traces of bugs and nuts. Technical issues should be reported directly to Santa via the nearest chimney.
Click a symbol to select a gift category.
Click the same symbol repeatedly to scroll through specific gifts (for example, click the sock icon multiple times to browse items like socks, slippers, shoes, etc).
Want to combine several gifts in the same rhyme? Click the plus button.
When you’re happy with your selection, press ENTER to generate your rhyme.
The calculator will now produce your rhyme – with varying results and lots of love.
Not happy with the rhyme? Just press ENTER again to get a new version for the same gift. The machine has plenty of rhyme combos in stock.
Lost all hope? Hit WIFI to play Flappy Santa instead.
