How to play
You're a pickpocket. Every word on the board is a mark. Lift one letter from each.
- Don't get caught. Whatever is left behind must still be a word, or the mark feels it. That's a fumble.
- Spell the haul. The letters you lift, read top to bottom, must spell a word. The fence won't pay for gibberish.
- Three jobs a night. Four letters, then five, then six. Fewest fumbles wins.
BRAIN
Lift the B → RAIN. Clean.
BRAIN
Lift the I → BRAN. Also clean.
BRAIN
Lift the A → BRIN. Fumble!
Tap a lifted letter in the haul to slip it back. Stuck? One tip-off per job points you at a letter.
