Grex Iq Item 141: The N-Letter Game
Entered by prp on Thu Jan 27 20:59:00 UTC 2000:

Having trouble thinking of words by number of letters, I
propose the following varation on the word game: 
 
  No restriction on the number of letters in the words.
 
Thus we could have: 
 
  up 2
  upto 4
  uptowner 6
  uptown 6 *** winner
 
for more see IQ confernece items 130-132 response 0.

36 responses total.

Too bad the rules prevent the same person going twice.  Or am I overlooking
a time-limit exception to that rule?

It's too bad this seems to have died, it seems like an interesting game.
