shiritori (plural shiritori)
(games) A Japanese word game wherein each player must produce a word that begins with the kana that the previous player's word ended with. Only nouns may be used. Words may not be repeated, and a player who chooses a word ending in ん (n) loses, since no normal Japanese noun begins with ん (n). See also: word chain.
