How to play

Players take turns adding letters to a growing word fragment. Each fragment must be the start of a real word, but the first player to *complete* a word (of 4+ letters) loses a "letter" — G, H, O, S, T. Spell GHOST and you're out. You may challenge the previous player to prove their fragment is a real word-start.
