The last two letters

[ghost1000]

Time for a new game. I'll start with a word, and the next person's word must start with the last two letters from my word, etc.

For example:
ghost
station
ontology
gypsy
syllable
legal

Names are OK. Using a dictionary is OK. Just make sure you spell your contribution correctly. In the rare circumstance that the two-letter combination can't be used to start a new word (if my example had included the word legend instead of legal), you can use the last three letters, or just the last letter to start the next word.

So let's start with---

haunted

[pollymn]

educate

[matysgranma]

teacup

[pollymn]

upscale

[bababear]

leather


sorry about that ghost1000

[ghost1000]

bababear, the point of this game is the take the last two letters from the word before and start the next word with those same letters. So upscale would lead to--

leather

and the next person takes the "er" from leather and starts their next word with it.

Tricky, DG! I can't go wrong whichever end of the word I use!

[ghost1000]

In a case like there, where there aren't a lot of words that start with ry, we can use compound words, like--

rye whiskey

(just making up the rules as I go along, but this is another "anything goes" type of game)

In order to make the game easy, you can basically do whatever you want (within the guidelines). I did post that if the letter combination was impossible to start a new word, you could either use the last letter for your next word or the last three letters for your next word. But we'll pick up with road, and my contribution will be---
