= Ruleset =
 +
* Every turn, each player writes one entry in the current letter. They may either claim a phantom (an entry which has been mentioned but not yet written), or come up with a new entry.
 +
* If there are any extant phantoms for the letter, all must be claimed before a player may come up with a new entry. So if Alice, Bob, and Carl are playing, and the letter is B and the phantoms '''Banana Republic''' and '''Barista''' exist, Carl cannot write the entry '''Bistro''' unless Alice and Bob claim '''Banana Republic''' and '''Barista'''. If there were four phantoms, conversely, than everyone would have to choose one and there would still be one left over to be dealt with later.
 +
** Note that if there are no phantoms a player is allowed to write (see below), they are free to write a new entry. So if Carl had cited '''Banana Republic''' and '''Barista''' in previous articles, he is free to go work on '''Bistro''' if he wants.
 +
* Entries must be signed. This may be achieved by writing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> beneath your entry.
 +
* Entries must cite at least one existing article and exactly two phantoms, which may be pre-existing phantoms or ones originated in the entry.
 +
* A player may not cite themselves in an entry. This means they may not cite any pre-existing article which they have written, and they may not write the article for any phantom they have cited.
 +
* Players may not cite articles from the current round. So if Alice is doing '''Banana Republic''' and Carl is doing '''Bistro''', and Alice finishes first, Carl may not cite her article in '''Bistro''', but in the next round, when he is writing the entry for '''Cabbage''', he is free to do so.
