Leap Frog Revised

Post Reply New Topic

This form of Leap Frog can have multiple entries by one person if they're bored, and it doesn't matter if there's lots of alliteration, if that's what the poster likes. There are no points in this game.
the rules in general are to make [in alphabetical order in either direction up or down] alliterative word pairings such as "gart's garters" or "fred's friends" or such, with both words' first letters remaining the same, unlike the other "leap frog" game where that is not allowed. here are more examples, in alphabetical line with what came before-

terry's terrycloth
umo's umlauts
vic's vicks

there is considerable liberality in interpreting the above rules so long as you observe the same first letter rule.

Wow, I really didn't explain it very well in the OP. Sorry about that. I think I was half asleep when I started the thread.

I forgot the rules myself until recently.

Background:
There is another thread on WP called "Leap Frog". In regular Leap Frog you write pairs of words, with the first letter of each word being before or after the previous entry.

Example - "cat hat" (CH) could turn into "dog games" (DG). You can also switch the order of the new words like a flip flop, and say "generous dessert" (GD). "cat hat" (CH) could also become "bee injuries" (BI) or "beach games" (BG), etc.

People write one response at a time in Leap Frog. It's not very often that alliteration happens.

This game is pretty much the same thing as regular Leap Frog except:

- multiple entries are OK and encouraged
- alliteration is encouraged (but not necessary)
- we've been doing alliteration for so long, it's kind of become the norm
- auntblabby had Covid when I invented this game for him. He really likes alliteration, so we kept with it.
