In this game a sequence of three letters is given. This is to be used as part of a word in any language.

The aim is to come up with a dozen words that contain the sequence.

The twelfth person to provide a word gives the following sequence.

It works like this:

Sequence: EAR

First player writes 1) Tear

Second player writes 2) Beard

Shall we give it a try to see if it picks up?
I'll provide the first sequence and the first word.

9) ATELIER

...and a suggestion:

I think the ongoing list should be repeated in each post, so we don't have to scroll back & forth.

WDYT, y'all???
