What do you guys use to make something happen once after an event tick?

You could add a boolean bWordIsCorrect that is flagged as OnRepNotify. A matching OnRepNotify event is created automatically, to which you can react by playing a sound (on the client).

Whenever the client makes a guess, the server checks whether it is correct and if so, sets the boolean to true. This will cause the event to trigger back on the client and your sound will be played.
