"31 doesnʻt play off 30"
(32) on 30>31

I thought to play e.g. "Hunter"S" (31)
on "Hunter" (30) was permissible. Is there a rule against it? Is it because of LTʻs systemic aversion to apostrophes?

36amanda4242
Sep 7, 2018, 4:08 pm

>33 rolandperkins: Apostrophes are fine, but the first word of your title should have been "hunter". In this game the first word of the next play should be the last word of the previous play. See >1 amanda4242: for the rules.

Thanks, @Amanda, for the clarification; but as for apostrophes
I don't see anything "fine" about them,, the way LT works for me

Thanks for r-ativating the thread.

Iʻll take your word for it, and I deleted
the WordS > Word play, but, as I remember
it, this game does allow a singular to be played on a plural of the previous, and vice-versa.
The rules in (1) donʻt rule that out. You may have it mixed up with another game for which @mobilomaniac wrote the rule which DOES indeed specify that the word put into the next post must be EXACTLY the same a a word of the previous post

51amanda4242
Dec 17, 2018, 8:48 pm

It's not about plural/singular; it's that the first word of a title must be the last word of the previous title. You have been playing titles that share any word with the previous title, which is a different game.
