Hare you e-rcr played this gj.n;ei J* Is good fun. The players sit iu a circl-r. and someone thinks of a loiter. He or sl» miiat also iliink of a vorj commencing with that let u>r. The neit player adds a second letter, Lading a word on his or In-r uiind commencing with those two letters. Four or fi>e letters must be iu th« word—no fewer, but as many more aj an be added, to make an even longer word.
