Shiritori is a Japanese game in which the players are required to say the next word, starting from the last character of the recent word said. This is an English version of the game which can be played with Alexa, or with your friends at your place.
**NOTE: To say a word, please use, 'The word is' before saying a word'. Sorry for the inconvenience**
Rules: 1. At the first time, Alexa will say a letter and the Player 1 will have to say a word from that letter. 2. The length of that said word would be the score for that player in that current round. 3. For the next word, Alexa will ask the user to say a word from the letter that was the last character of the previous word. 4. If the word is correct, and starts with the required character, it would be counted as the score for that player. 5. If the word is wrong or starts with another letter, the score would be 0. 6. Words that are already used, cannot be used again in the same game. 7. The player with the highest score after the game would be the winner. 8. Scores are not persisted across the game sessions. If the game is restarted, there would be no scores for the previous game(s) played.
