About: Lexicant

An Entity of Type: newspaper, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Lexicant is a paper and pencil word game for two players. A letter is written on a sheet of paper, and each player takes turns adding a letter either to the beginning or the end of this ever-growing word stem. Any word-stem a player creates must form part of a valid English word, without actually being a word itself. The first player to create a word (with at least three or four letters) loses. The game can be played with paper and pencil or simply spoken aloud. The game was played by James Thurber and his circle of friends.
