How to play
- Everyone agrees on a forbidden letter (try 'S' or 'T' for a hard mode).
- Players take turns saying sentences in conversation.
- Any word containing the forbidden letter = you're out.
- The catch: you can ask anyone questions to try to trap them.
- Last one in wins.
Example round
- Forbidden letter: 'S' — 'Can I have a drink?' works. 'Sure!' gets you eliminated.
- Forbidden letter: 'T' — someone says 'the' in their first breath. Gone.
- 'What time is it?' — 'T' in 'time' and 'it'. Immediate elimination.
Tips
- Ban letters in common small words for maximum chaos: 'T', 'S', 'A', 'E'.
- Ask trap questions: 'What's your sister's name?' to someone whose name starts with the letter.
