NOUN (according to oxford dic) Grammar A word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things (common noun), or to name a particular one of these (proper noun). Rules 1. use only nouns in English, no verb, adjectives and others. Places and people names doesn't count. Plurals are not ok. Compound word and portmanteau are ok. 2. Every game start with a three letter word, the next person has to reply and increase the letter count by 1. The round ends when the letter count reach more than 15 or couldn't be continued. The last person to post 15 lettered word would start the next round. Use the last letter of the last game to start a new round. 3. avoid using word ending with x. 4. new words are encouraged, if possible not repeating previously used words. 5. to make it easier, put the letter count after the word. suggestions for rules are accepted. EDIT: since the game is either too time/brainpower consuming or people are just lazy to search for words, I'll post this here as a cheat/trainer. http://www.morewords.com/wordsbylength/15e/ use it by placing the letter count and initial letter as given is the link of 15 lettered words starting with e. BUT honestly, try on your own before using it.
