Well, originally when thread was started a response could only be one word only. Something like " Sun " and you would respond as " Hot " or whatever but it was restricted to one word only. Time passed and now it seems you can be more flexible and sometimes the responses are non - sensible or completely obscure to the great majority. I try to keep it within the last five or so entries if possible in order to have a linear thought process going but I sometimes can't so I'll wait till other people start something new.
What page were the rules on? I've never seen them, and assumed the game was 'word association', as in some kind of free-association of what each entry brings to mind. Never knew it
had to be a single word... Plus, some things 'VW Beetle', or someone's name, are still one 'thing', if not one word.
