Last Letter First Game Rules
Last Letter First is a simple vocabulary game, but the possibilities for gameplay are endless. 

Step 1:  A player enters a word. 
Step 2:  The next player then enters a word that starts with the last letter of the previous player’s word. 
Step 3:  The next player then enters a word that starts with the last letter of the previous player’s word. 
…and this repeats until a player misspells or repeats an already played word.  

Points are calculated based on the points assigned to each letter of the word. 

When a player repeats or misspells a word, the player gets a strike. 

A player’s game ends when they get 3 strikes and the last player in the game WINS.

For example, 
- Player 1 enters the word “sailboat” for X points.
- Player 2 enters the word “trumpet” for Y points (“trumpet” starts with the last letter of “sailboat”).
- Player 3 enters the word “trafic” which is misspelled so they get a strike.
- Player 1 enters the word “tiresome” for Z points (“tiresome” starts with the last letter of “trumpet”).
- Player 2 enters the word “excellent” for X points (“excellent” starts with the last letter of “tiresome”).
- Player 3 enters the word “tickle” for Y points (“tickle” starts with the last letter of “excellent”).
…
And the game goes on until two out of the three players get three strikes.

The game can be played in English, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish with Russian and Ukrainian coming soon.
