## What is Shiritori?

Train your vocabulary by connecting words together against an AI opponent. Here are the rules:

1. You can use any word that is allowed in a game like Scrabble
2. The word you choose must start with the letter of the last letter of the opponent's word
3. You get an equivalent number of points to the number of characters in the word you choose
4. After the last round, the points are tallied and the winner is chosen

In this version, there are three different difficulty levels: Easy, Intermediate, Advanced

Easy: 7 rounds, and the AI opponent can only use words of 7 letters or less. This is fairly easy for a native English speaker to beat.
Medium: 15 rounds, and the AI opponent can use words of up to 10 letters. A little bit harder than Easy.
Hard: 20 rounds, and the AI opponent can use words of up to 15 letters. This is legitimately hard for native English speakers.

There are various strategies to win, including memorizing the longest words you can find for each letter, but for some reason, when the clock is running, it can be hard to remember those words. The game ends up being fun because a different word pops to mind every time!

If you have any suggestions for how to make the game better, please feel free to contact us and we'll try to make it better!
