✔ How to Play:
- Set a timer (usually 2–3 minutes).
- For each row (category), write one word starting with the letter above (P, A, R, T, Y).
- Try to be unique — if others have the same answer, you might not score points (depending on house rules).
- Score 1 point for each unique answer per category.
- Highest score wins!

💡 Tips for Winning:
- Think beyond obvious answers (e.g., instead of “Pizza” for P, try “Popcorn” or “Pudding”).
- Use proper nouns (movie titles, places) — they’re often unique.
- Don’t overthink — sometimes silly answers are best!
