Meh.
I've abandoned Chrome in favor of Edge, with the thinking being, the OS makers already have all my data. I'd rather have the browser I use send the same data to the same company, rather than having two companies spying on me (with one of them deriving its income almost entirely from ad revenue).
On a technical basis, I also no longer see how Chrome might still have the edge (pardon the pun).

Microsoft, Google, etc. knows what the majority is too afraid to admit. They want to control your data and view to and of the world. It's only going to get worse.

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.

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.
