(b) You cannot use the target word itself, parts or morphological variants of it in your description.
(c) In addition, the same rules apply for related words which are provided below.

End conditions:
(i) If you use the target word or a related word in your description, then you lose.

The game continues with the other player guessing the target word based on the clue provided.<|im_end|><|im_end|><|im_end|><|im_end|><|im_end|><|im_end|>The other player replies:

GUESS: Is it "brief"?

As the guess is incorrect and the clue was not directly used to describe the target word, the game continues. The clue provided was a close synonym, but it did not give away the target word
