What can we do to keep a word chain going when players break with hard letters?
#1
I keep trying to get my friends to play a simple word chain game, but someone always breaks the chain by using a word that ends with a hard letter like "K" or "J". It just kills the round and we have to start over. I’m starting to think the game itself might be fundamentally flawed, or maybe we’re just not creative enough to keep it going.

Yeah I get it I hate that moment when the chain ends because of a hard ending We tried a loose rule to keep it moving but it felt wrong so we reset and kept going

I kept a quick list of what we used and noticed those endings show up a lot and the rounds drag We abandoned strict memory and just moved on when someone stumbled

One time we slowed it down a bit we let a minute pass before calling a miss and the mood improved but then someone froze on a tough ending and the moment passed

Is the real issue the letters or is the pace and energy of the group?
