[edit] How to play Word before last

This is an experimental game that runs two different word association games within the same line.

Each game begins with two unrelated words. The third word must be associated with the first while the fourth must associate with the second. Therefore the game could run: Electronic music, British monarchy, Trip-hop, Prince William, where Trip-hop associates with Electronic music, and British monarchy associates with Prince William.

Like the other games: avoid repeating words, use blue links only and keep it tasteful. For clarity during editing, add <!--a--> and <!--b--> alternately to the left of each word. Use letters "a" and "b" for each parent game, "c" and "d" for the first branch, "e" and "f" for the second, &c. To the right, remember to add a comma after every word and mark off every ten words:

<!--a-->[[Electronic music]],
<!--b-->[[British monarchy]],
<!--a-->[[Trip-hop]],
<!--b-->[[Prince William]], <!--50th word-->

In normal play, only add one word at a time, but a new branch requires two starter words. Any two consecutive words from the parent game can be used.

Confused? You will be. Let's start the game...
