To think of words that begin with a particular letter and that fall into a particular category.
How to play
This word game is a simplified version of Guggenheim. Players choose a letter of the alphabet and a category. They then give themselves a certain amount of time to write down words that begin with that letter and that fall into that category. Points are given only to players who think of words that no other player has written down.
Example
Arabella and Brendan agree on the letter C and the category 'Countries.' After five minutes, their lists look like this:
Arabella:
CHINA
CUBA
COLUMBIA
CHILE
CANADA
COSTA RICA
Brendan:
COLUMBIA
CUBA
CROATIA
CHILE
CAMEROON
CHINA
CANADA
They share five answers between them. Eliminating these, Brendan beats Arabella 2 points to 1.
