How to play
- The host posts a letter, for example "Letter: M".
- Every player replies in one message with four words: a name, a place, an animal and a thing that begin with that letter.
- The round closes after 60 seconds, or when the first complete reply arrives, as you decide before starting.
- Score 10 points for a word nobody else wrote, 5 for a word shared with someone and 0 for a blank or wrong word.
- Play five letters. The highest total wins.
