With all due respect to everyone who is playing this game.... Can someone explain to me what the point of this game is? To show that you know a word that begins with a specific letter of the alphabet? I mean, studies have shown that the average person has a vocabulary of several thousand words that they use from day to day in their normal speaking and writing. So, leaving out letters like "x" and "z", that still leaves at least several hundred words for each letter. I could understand it if maybe each word had to be connected to a specific theme, like words or terms used in sports, or films, or something like that, but just any word? Sorry, but I just don't get it.....
