How to play
Players build a word one letter at a time around the circle — with one rule: never be the player who completes a real word of four or more letters. Each added letter must still be heading toward some real word, though; if you suspect a bluff, challenge — the bluffer takes a letter if they can't name their word, but you take one if they can. Completing a word earns you a letter of G-H-O-S-T, and five letters kills you off. Pure spelling brinkmanship needing zero equipment.

What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf?
One player is Mr. Wolf and stands with their back to the group, who wait on a start line. The group chants "What time is it, Mr. Wolf?" and the wolf answers a time — "Three o'clock!" — so everyone takes three steps forward. When the group gets close, the wolf may answer "Dinner time!" and spin around to chase them back to the start line. Anyone caught becomes the new wolf. Sneaky wolves keep the group guessing about when dinner time will come.
