Could have used Line to rhyme with Nine. Rhyming is usually avoided so if you don't hear the first part you still can maybe understand the last part.
IE if Bat and Rat were both chosen, and you heard "At", you can't tell which it was. But Rat and Bryan sound sufficiently different.
Could be fun to try to find the most overlap of rhyming, silent letters, and maybe stuff like regional dialectal differences, common mispellings, homophones (some used on this one). Bonus points for unusual or long words (might seem like a mistake or annoying & inefficient to say, respectively).
Only problem is that you’re probably saying something like “Bryan, b as in bat, r as in rat” and then even if you put it further along in the word, “ b as in bat, r as in rat” is probably still going to be pronounced distinctly enough to catch that it’s “br” and not “rb”. Something like “rote” would probably be a better word with r since it could easily get confused for “wrote” even with the r sound.
