    Just another pointless game.

    Your word must start with the last letter of the previous word, and be one letter longer.  Longest word wins.

    My word = Up

      You are correct, I didn't read the instructions right.  Start again with "s" 16 letters

      1. countrywomen profile image62
        countrywomenposted 15 years agoin reply to this

        I think now it should be 17 letter word because the previous one was 16 letters.

            Y's are definitely the way to go.  I even tried searching for scientific terms thinking there was bound to be some kind of weird long science name for something starting with a Y, but no luck.  Congratulations. big_smile
