Let's play a Shiritori Game - Japanese word game

[MeAndroo]

Hey, I haven't been tracking this game in a long while, but...
In regular shiritori game, you lose when you post a word that ends with ん

That would certainly make sense, what with Kumo having to go to a dialect to get a word. This being a casual game, and with the blessing of everyone else playing, I'll gladly edit.

It's okay with me if it's okay with everyone else!

Was just curious...

No worries! I just wasn't aware of the rules. I've never seen shiratori in Japan, only on English-based forums. We were always more interested in playing the Yamanote-sen game.

Not sure if this is a noun..

Without taking anything away from Kumo, since a word ending with ん is illegal, the new word will be:

留守 － るす
not at home

(let me know if this is okay...i'm not actually sure if rusu is a word by itself in japanese)
