Core rules of the word chain
Step
The game begins with a single Russian word. From there, each player must supply a new word that opens with the last letter of whatever was just played. Reusing any word that has already appeared in the round is not allowed.
- Read the last letter look at the final letter of the previous word before you start typing.
- Type a valid Russian word it must begin with that letter and must not have appeared earlier in the round.
- Submit before time runs out the timer is already counting the moment it is your turn.
- Avoid mistakes a wrong word costs you a heart just as a timeout does.

Hearts and when you lose them
Check
Hearts work like a life bar. You lose one whenever you submit an incorrect word or fail to answer before the timer expires. When your hearts reach zero, you are out.
- Check that the word starts with the correct letter before submitting.
- Check that the word has not already been used in this round.
- Both a wrong answer and a slow answer cost one heart.
