How to play

The objective of Ghost Game is simple - always keep the word growing

• When it's your turn to play, just add a letter.
  • Make sure that a valid word can be made if more letters are added.
• If you suspect that the previous player has ended a word, or that no valid word can be made by adding more letters, challenge them!
  • If the previous player cannot respond with a longer valid word, they lose.

Sample gameplay among 3 players

Player 1: J
Player 2: J-A
Player 3: J-A-Z
Player 1: J-A-Z-Z
Player 2: Challenges Player 1
Player 1: Completes a longer valid English word, J-A-Z-Z-E-D, thus making Player 2 lose a point

What to do if you're stuck

• Look for other ways to extend a word, such as plurals and past tenses.
• Bluff by adding a random letter, and pray that the next person does not challenge you.
