Fix Yo Yap

The yappers / One of five

The Leaper

Three ideas in, and none of them is the one you started with.

The tell: “which reminds me”

What it does well

  • Makes the connection nobody else in the room was going to make.
  • A wide vocabulary keeps 45 seconds from sounding like one long note.
  • The surprise is the part people repeat afterwards.

What it costs

  • You are the only one who saw the rope. Every leap costs the audience the thread.
  • Sentences get abandoned mid-clause because the next idea arrived first.
  • The ending has nothing to do with the beginning, so nothing lands as a point.

How the app spots it

Word variety well above the band, with a finished-sentences score below it. Lots of different words, not many finished thoughts.

  • Word variety
  • Finished sentences

A yapper is a label on a score, never part of it. The same round always names the same one, and a round that sits in the middle of every band names none.

Sixty seconds a day.
That’s the whole commitment.
