There will be a new game of Word Association set up soon. Very likely within 3 days. Stay tuned! --HappyCamper 03:29, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction

This is a fun and simple game Wikipedia:Sandbox - feel free to join in! It's a good place to practice making links to articles, and to start looking for interesting articles on Wikipedia.

How to Play

By way of example, a game might start off with: cat

Then, the next person might add cat, dog

And after a few more rounds, we might get cat, dog, pet, animal, forest, tree, ...

Simply, the game involves adding a single word to the list that is related to the previous one. Avoid repeating words, and keep the links tasteful! Clearly, as the game develops, one gets a pretty long list!

Try to update the word count each time you add a word.

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

If you're stuck for ideas, link to the last word in the list and add the first link that appears on that page as the next link. This Sebastian Junger would be followed by 1962, and Latin by language.
