Last Letter First Game Rules
Last Letter First is a simple vocabulary game, but the possibilities for gameplay are endless.

Step 1: A player enters a word.
Step 2: The next player then enters a word that starts with the last letter of the previous player’s word.
Step 3: The next player then enters a word that starts with the last letter of the previous player’s word.
…and this repeats until a player misspells or repeats an already played word.

Points are calculated based on the points assigned to each letter of the word.

When a player repeats or misspells a word, the player gets a strike.

A player’s game ends when they get 3 strikes and the last player in the game WINS.

For example,
- Player 1 enters the word “sailboat” for X points.
- Player 2 enters the word “trumpet” for Y points (“trumpet” starts with the last letter of “sailboat”).
- Player 3 enters the word “trafic” which is misspelled so they get a strike.
- Player 1 enters the word “tiresome” for Z points (“tiresome” starts with the last letter of “trumpet”).
- Player 2 enters the word “excellent” for X points (“excellent” starts with the last letter of “tiresome”).
- Player 3 enters the word “tickle” for Y points (“tickle” starts with the last letter of “excellent”).
…
And the game goes on until two out of the three players get three strikes.

The game can be played in English, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish with Russian and Ukrainian coming soon.

Ratings and reviews

I can't figure out how to play against AI. When I select New Game and then select Start Game without adding participants, a game does not start as the FAQ suggests it will. Now I have 3 games in my cue that I can't delete. I decided to just delete my account, but I'm still receiving emails. How do I make it stop?

I had such a great time playing Last Letter First! It’s simple yet super addictive — the kind of game that keeps you thinking and smiling at the same time. The interface is clean, the gameplay is smooth, and it’s perfect for quick breaks or long sessions with friends. If you enjoy word games that test your mind and make you laugh along the way, this one’s a must-try! I genuinely enjoyed every round and can’t wait to play more.

An absolute delight. It strikes that perfect balance of being fun, light-hearted, and just competitive enough to keep things interesting without ever feeling intense. What I love most is how effortlessly it brings people together—whether it's family across the country or friends you haven’t caught up with in a while, it gives you a reason to connect, laugh, and share a few playful jabs. It’s rare to find a game that everyone in the family can enjoy, regardless of age or tech-savviness.
