Forum Games

20 Questions - Intermediate + Level - Each game I think up a word. The word will come from the one of the vocabulary topics on the LE web site. You have to find out what the word is by asking closed (Yes or No) questions on this forum. If the question is grammatically correct, I will answer it, on my next visit to the forum (I come here at least twice a day) and you get a point. If I have to correct the question I get the point! - Get the point?

Add a letter games - Beginner + Level - starts easy but gets more difficult. Play on-line and make a new word by adding a letter to the previous word!

Alphabet Games - Beginner + Level - play on-line by using the last letter of the previous word, no repetitions though!

Letter swap - Upper intermediate + Level - You make a new word by changing just one letter of the previous word.

Matching words - Intermediate + Level - enter a word that goes with the previous word.

These games are played on the Learn English Online forum, I check in at least twice a day so play nicely!
