It can have as many as four o's. Depending on how heavy or light the exclamation is. Yep, up to four. But no more. State law.

There should be one word association game -- the original WAG, the one we've come to know and love.
All the others, the A-Z, Z-A, last-letter-first clones and satirical copycats, should be dispatched forthwith.

Spam can serve a useful purpose, if kept within reasonable limits.
that's reasonable

no harm in one wa game

one would not be a problem, it's the flood of A-Z, Z-A, Free association WA, the latest one, the oldest one

personally I can't connect with any of them, hence the non association one, but that didn't work, there's always some sort of association

It's a very sad day
in the global village
when its citizens care
more about eating
than waging.
