Welcome to Shiritori

What is shiritori?

Shiritori (しりとり; 尻取り) is a Japanese word game in which the players are required to say a word which begins with the final kana (in this case, letter) of the previous word. No distinction is made between hiragana, katakana, and kanji. "Shiritori" literally means "taking the end" or "taking the rear".

The game begins when you put in your first word. From there, a timer will start. Try to see how many words you can name.

Keep in mind:

• You must use a word.
• You cannot repeat the same word twice.
• If you use repeat the same word or use a word starting with the wrong letter, the game ends.

Do your best to get a high score. Good luck and have fun.
