Introduction

Feel free to join in! This is a fun and simple game in the Wikipedia sandbox. It's one place to practise making links to articles, and also a good starting point to look for interesting articles on Wikipedia that others have thought of.

How to Play

The object of this game is to type the first word that comes to mind with the previous word. The trick is not to think about it, just type the very first word.

For example, the last word typed might be:

old

Perhaps you might type "man", giving

old man

or perhaps

old young

The next person might see "young" and they may happen to think of the word "person", giving

old young person

As the game develops, you get a pretty long list! An example game might thus turn out like this:

old young person human homo neanderthal species animals pets house home happy sad
crying tears water sea boat sailing ship navy blue green grass

In spirit of the game, please only type one word consecutively. Then, another person can respond to your word, and the game continues!
