Meter Hunt

Identify the metre of the unseen stanza. Three guesses a stanza; first guess is worth the most. When the round ends, Scani shows the beats to prove it.

Scansion Duel --

Name the metre before the clock runs out. Streaks multiply your score.

Runs entirely offline in this one file. The scansion engine (in ENGINE-START…ENGINE-END) is plain ES3 JScript and is exercised by the test suites in dev/. Progress lives in localStorage.
