The Alphabet Game

#1 Post by NellyLunatic1980 » Sat Mar 29, 2008 8:44 am

For our Saturday morning post frenzy, here's something more manageable than Chain Reaction.

It starts with a category and then something in that category that begins with the letter "A". The next poster must give something in that category that begins with "B". Each successive post must begin with the next letter of the alphabet. Rare letters such as Q, X, and Z may be omitted from the chain. Once the alphabet is complete, the person who completes the alphabet will put up a new category.

Category #1: Words associated with numbers or arithmetic.

Algebra

A math term beginning with J or K? Hmmm...

Unless somebody has one, we can skip to L.

Lowest common denominator
