Hi, What dictionary are we using?? Because George's entry: 'KART' is not in mine....

ren, I think "kart" may be a racing term --but I don't have the Oxford Dictionary. (Don't put the kart before the hoarse )

You know what would be neat and make it more challanging? Make it like "Snake" where the next word has to start with the last letter of the previous.

Sage's idea is neat, but I don't know if it's practical. For example, I know I'd be hard-pressed to find something to follow off Val's entry, "PELT", if it had to start with a T. I'm sure there are some words where it's downright impossible.

What if it isn't required for each word to begin with the last letter of the previous one -- but if you can do it, you get a five-point bonus?

Excellent Idea Cellardoor....Like I said before...this game had some rough edges and with a little help from the players this will turn into a great game....

I say it's time for a wet noodle. Fifty lashes!!!
Seriously, Purple fan, I remember you from when I was just a little mama, and I haven't seen you in ages. Welcome back, or hello, or whatever's appropriate, but it's sure good to see you again!!!
