portmanteau
noun
portĀ·manĀ·teau
- a large trunk or suitcase, typically made of stiff leather and opening into two equal parts.
-
a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others.
- consisting of or combining two or more aspects or qualities.
The goal of portmanteau is to score points by combining words together. Each new word must begin with a part of the previous word (e.g.
portman and manteau).
The round ends if you run out of time, or
reuse a previously submitted word.
Points are allotted (or deducted) based on how many shared letters the previous and current word have.
