- 'CLOO doe'..... Tushar was absolutely right when he stated the obvious that
- it is meant to rhyme with Ludo ('LOO doe'). Rashmi while 'playdoh' and
- Cluedo rhyme on the last syllable the initial vowel in playdoh is a diphthong
- in my dialect and therefore is marginally longer than the 'oo' of Cluedo.
