Words Game

[DeMen]

Let's play a small game while our leader is out for "national duty", ok?I used to play this game many times while I was a secondary pupil, and I'm sure many of you are familiar with it.

The rule is more than simple: write a word that begins with the letter which ends the previous word. Each word mustn't begin and end with a same letter.

For example, if I write: thank, the next post should be keen, and the next should be next, and so on

This rule can (and should) be modified during the game to make it more interesting and useful to enrich our vocabulary.
How do you think? Let me start: Universal
P.S.: Banker, could you offer any awards for the winner?
