Delete Shiritori (消失 しりとり, Derīto Teīru tou Nōsu) is a variation of Shiritori created by Momo Momozono for the third and final round of the Jet Black Wedding Feast.[1]
Game Play[]
Each player has a syllable bank that includes all fifty Japanese syllables.[2] The order players take turns is decided by drawing cards. Lower numbers go first.[3]
- The first player to finish up their fifty syllables is the winner.[4]
- Each syllable of the fifty syllables can only be used once.[4]
- The first syllable of the word will be passed down from the previous player. Therefore, only the second syllables and beyond are to be "deleted".[4]
- The following cases will result in a disqualification:
- When cannot think of a word or when you use the same syllable.[5]
- When you use a word that's already been used by the previous player.[6] Homonyms are an exception.[7]
- When you use a word that ends with "ん" (N). Since there are only a handful of words that start with "ん" (N).[6] (Because the game ends when all fifty syllables are used however, it is possible to use a word that ends with "ん" (N) to finish the game.[8])
- When a player is disqualified, the Shiritori game will continue on with the rest of the players. When there is only one player left, the last player will win automatically.[5]
- No passes.[5]
- The "fifty syllables" are the forty-five syllables excluding the archaic "kana" words and the "を" (Wo) syllable.Voiced, half-voiced, long consonants, and contracted sounds are also included.[9]
- Only use nouns so words can go undisputed.[7]
- No violence.[10]
- Words must be four syllables or more.[11]
- Time limit is exactly one hour. Will be disqualified even if answered "within" an hour.[11]
