How big a word can we build?
Starting with a 1-letter word ... I'll enter the word:
A and then the number of letters the next entry has to be: 2. The second person enters a two letter word, like: IT and then a 3 for the next person telling them how many letters their word should contain. When no more words can be thought of / entered ... the person enters "I give up!" and starts over again with a one-letter word. Might be fun ... who knows. Okay, consider the one and two letters words done ... Next person needs a 3-letter word! 3 |
