Word Chain — 90 sec English speaking game
About Word Chain
Word Chain is an English speaking game about linking words. You get a starting word and, out loud, you build a chain - each new word begins with the last letter of the last one, for ninety seconds. Hard starts you on a word ending in X or Z.
