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.
