It took me a while to get going today, which is why I call this game tricky.
After spotting EMAIL and understanding the theme, I managed to navigate through a search containing modern and traditional CORRESPONDENCE formats.
Personally, I’m a big fan of a POSTCARD – in many ways a precursor to the limited space allowed by many social media communications.
One of the pleasures of thrift store shopping in the UK, where postcards were a major part of going on holiday in the pre-digital age, is discovering an old postcard sent to a neighbor, which will inevitably depict the weather and a description of a minor injury to the sender. Postcard from the Past is a good podcast and website on the subject.
