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.....  Well to put it this way Alphabet!!! You go up in the alphabet so it goes A B C D with any words!!! Get it if you dont read the first ever post! ok! [/b][/quote]I understand how the game works. I understand how to play the game. What I don't understand is what the point of the game is. To prove that you know the alphabet? I think everyone here knows their A, B, C's....
