... we would be threading very long necklaces in this alphabetical game!

The first player starts with letter A and the shortest word beginning with it. In this case, A (the indefinite article).

The second player has to look for a (real) two-letter word starting with A. In this case, it could be AS or AN, for example.

The third player needs to find a word starting with A that is three letters long.For example, ANY

Only real words are accepted, not acronyms.

We cannot skip numbers.

Hint: chemistry provides VERY long words.

First contribution would look like this:

A=1

Second contribution would be something like:

AS=2

Any takers out there? :D

This game is new to me, but it looks to me like Dulcamara is saying that the word just has to share the first letter, not the others.
ILIAC=5
