PDQ (Pretty Darn Quick)

Instructions

  • A new set of three random letters will be shown to the group each round.
  • To form a word, use all three letters in order, but the word must start with either the first or last letter in the set.
  • For example, if the letters are P N A, you could shout out PINBALL or ANTELOPE!
  • The first player to yell out a valid word scores a point.
  • If a set of letters starts or ends with "X," words starting with "EX" are allowed (like EXTREME).
  • Keep playing until all the rounds are finished, and the player with the most points wins!
Tip: Click give up to reveal all possible words for a set.
