  2. Categories: Each round has multiple categories to fill in (e.g., Animals, Foods, Countries)
  3. Letter: A random letter will be chosen for each round
  4. Fill In: Come up with words that start with that letter for each category

🎯 Strategy Tips:

Timer: Each round typically lasts 60-90 seconds. Players race to fill categories before time runs out or someone stops the bus!
