- Chain. The game starts with a word; each next word must start with the last letter of the previous one.
- Valid word. The word must be in the dictionary and not already used in the game.
- Lives. A wrong word or a pass costs you one of your three lives; a pass brings a new word to continue from.
- Winning. A player with no lives left is out; the last one standing wins.
