Word chain, also known as Grab on Behind, Last and First, and Alpha and Omega, is a word game in which players come up with words that begin with the letter or letters that the previous word ended with. A category of words is usually chosen, there is a time limit such as five seconds,〔 and words may not be repeated in the same game. An example chain for food would be: Soup - Peas - Sugar - Rice.〔 It is used as a tool for teaching English as a second language and as a car game.〔 The version of the game in which cities are used is called Geography. ==Related games== A similar Japanese game is Shiritori, in which the word must begin with the last syllable, or kana, of the previous word. It includes a rule for loss: words ending with N may not be used since the kana is never used in the beginning of words. The game Antakshari (''ant'' means ''end'', ''akshar'' means ''letter''), played in India, Pakistan and Nepal also involves chaining, but with verses of movie songs (usually Bollywood songs). In Russia a game similar to the Word chain is called Words (Russian: слова). Writing poetry following the same principle is called ''capping verses.''〔(Cap Verses (To). ), Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, Brewer, 1898〕 Various other variants exist, such as Ancient Greek skolion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Word chain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
