Comments on: How to Actually Play the Alphabet Game (and where to find J, Q, X, and Z) https://homecleaningfamily.com/playing-the-alphabet-car-game/ Resources for Home and Family Life Thu, 22 Jun 2023 16:21:43 +0000 hourly 1 By: Dale https://homecleaningfamily.com/playing-the-alphabet-car-game/comment-page-1/#comment-397024 Thu, 22 Jun 2023 16:21:43 +0000 http://www.whatsupfagans.com/playing-the-alphabet-car-game/#comment-397024 This looks like an old post but it is interesting. We played this when I was a kid and now I have taught it to my own kids.

We never played that you had to say where you found a letter. Besides being distracting , that gives up an advantage and would allow all the others to find it as well. Of course our games always ended with a concersation like “where did you find a Q?”

As for hard to find letters, I always considered Q to be, by far the hardest followed by Z and then J. So many Jeeps on the road makes that was less difficult. As for X, that depends on the road type. For an interstate, X could never be considered difficult with so many exits. But if not on an interstate, it becomes almost as bad as Q.

Sarah, you are welcome! I love hearing about your rule alterations! And I’m 25… and we still play it too.

I played it with friends or family growing up, and my husband and I enjoy playing it now.

There are a couple extra rules that we have:

-I’ve always played that you are not allowed to use anything except road signs – no license plates, vehicles, etc. The exception is if all players become stuck on the same letter for an extended amount of time. In that case, only license plates are included.

-Also, no two players are allowed to use the same letter from the same word on the same sign: first to call it, claims it!

We’ve never played that mile markers, exit and speed limit signs are excluded, but I think I will add that next time! I also love the idea of adding numbers 0-9 to the end.

Thanks for a great post that allowed me to reminisce and anticipate my next road trip!!

Thanks for the advice. I have no idea how to SEO though I have a plug-in set up to help me with it.

On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
