Ghost (game)

Ghost, also known as ghosts or pig, is a written or spoken word game in which players take turns extending the letters of a word without completing a valid word. It can be played by two or more players and requires no equipment, since it can be spoken aloud, although it can also be played with pencil and paper. The lead of the source article is short, so this description states only what it supports. It is a different subject from the spirit or apparition that shares its name, and it belongs with the word games.
