A new activity is offered to you this year. It is a simple writing game that was played by authors such as Victor Hugo, Arthur Rimbaud, Alfred de Musset, Paul Éluard, Raymond Queneau. These are not games like coded words, crosswords or anything else.

Instead, we play with definitions of words - real, invented, rare or far-fetched -, fixed formulas, expressions with vegetables or animals, associations of ideas, playful sequences (Russian dolls, the obedient but meticulous child), puns, style figures, acrostics, suitcase words, and at least a hundred other possible words.

You are all welcome.
