A new skill every day. In five minutes. Hello, I'm Sean and I hope you're feeling sporty because today we're going to get physical. Yes, I've got my headband and ill-fitting shorts on.
It's time to play Word Tennis. A lot of the open word tennis. Okay, here's word tennis. Welcome to word tennis.
A category is game for one to six players. How many players do we have today? One. Yes, I have no friends.
Let's get a single player rally started. Say as many words in the category capitals as you can. Do not say the same word twice. No, I'm sorry.
I already said. If I make an incorrect decision, you can say a little bit better. Challenge that. Let's see if we can get a good rally going and set a high score for capitals.
Oh, I won't. I will serve first. Algiers. London.
Waggadoo-gu. Who? Paris. Conakry.
Berlin. No, I'm in trouble. I don't know any others. I don't know any others.
Washington, D.C. Lelongway. Oh, come on. Toronto.
That didn't sound like a capital from my list. I know it's auto-wistening. You got a rally of nine. Well, I wasn't expected to do that well.
That's a new high score for this category. Just say play again to try and beat your high score. Play again. Hoping for an easy category here.
Let's get a single player rally started. Say as many words in the category chemical elements as you can. Oh, come on. I'm going to say a word twice.
Or say a word I have already said. If I make an incorrect decision, you can say a little bit better. Challenge that. Let's see if we can get a good rally going and set a high score for chemical elements.
I will serve first. Techni-cium. Magnesium. Krypton.
Hydrogen. Xenon. Carbon. Pfft.
Genanium. Eurydium. I don't know if that's an element, but it was a game I used to play on the Commodore Amiga. Lithium.
Methane. Stop. That didn't sound like a chemical elements for my list. Oh, probably not.
No. Nice going. You got a rally of nine. That's a new high score for this category.
Okay, that's it. I can take any more humiliation. Stop. Okay.
Thanks for playing. You're a five-star word tennis legend. So there you go. I'm out of breath and also incredibly stupid it seems.
But that was fun. Check it out. That's weird. Tennis.
