Variant: Duckdown
Rules
Duckdown is a variant themed around exclusion.
Letters round: Players must give the longest word that does not include any of the letters in the selection.
Numbers round: Players must leave at least one of the working numbers unused.
Conundrum: The answer is an eight-letter word. Players are shown the word with all the correct consonants in the correct order, but all vowels removed. The answer may be plural and might be obscure, but it will be unique given the remaining consonants.
