Translation detailsModel: mistral-large-2512.

On a sheet of paper, each person writes a short word chosen by everyone—vertically down the left side and vertically up the right side. For example, with the word dog, the letter “d” on the left corresponds to “g” on the right, and so on. Then, each person constructs words beginning with the left-side letters and ending with the corresponding right-side letters. In our example, the 1-th word might be cigarette, and so forth. When everyone has written their words, each takes turns defining the first word so that everyone else can guess it. The first to guess correctly earns a point. After everyone has defined the first word in turn, they proceed to define the second, and so on. The person with the most points wins.
