Guess the MSG is a game which features pictures of popular social acronyms (or internet slang) as well as scrambled letters. Your goal is to spell out the meaning of the acronyms using the scrambled letters. While you may know popular (maybe even overused) internet abbreviations such as LOL or even OMG, do you know the more uncommon ones? Which ones? Well you'd have to play the game to find out. If you use Facebook, Twitter, Kik, forums, instant messaging, chat etc, you've likely come across a lot of acronyms, but do you really know what they mean? Can you guess the whole word or phrase? Give it a try. Hey, you might learn something new...
