Letter Linking Game with a Twist

I enjoy a good letter linking game, but I also appreciate a little tweak or twist...just to keep things interesting.

So here's the game: use the last letter of the preceding word to start your word.

Here's the twist: your word must be one letter longer or shorter than the preceding word.

Here's the example: sample > example
example > Easter
Easter > roast
roast > tunnel

And here's the word to start with: Forum

Hope everyone has fun with this one!

Maybe I'm missing something here but isn't that exactly the same as the Letter linking game

Not exactly. The length of the follow up word is predetermined (+/- one letter).

In the current Letter linking game, the follow up word has only one condition; must start with the last letter of the preceding word.

Gets to be extra fun considering the differences that pop up between American and British spellings of some words...wink
