An UH! O! game generates an optimal series of words starting from A through Z that ends with an A through Z preceding the final letter which is always O. The game was inspired by a grid that started with GIZMO. Following the rules should generate a list that:

  1. Uses every letter of the alphabet to start a word that ends with O as the 5th letter;
  2. Minimizes repeating the 4th letter before the O in different words (ex. DISCO, ZINCO); and,
  3. Keeps repeated letters within a particular word to a minimum (except for the OO ending) (ex. OVOLO, IMINO).

In the first ever UH! O! game played the outcomes were:

  1. X did not start a word;
  2. 5 words had repeated letters (2 repeated O, one word each repeated I, P, Z)
  3. FO, QO, WO and YO were not played

The series of words played in the premier UH! O! game were:

  1. AO - PULAO
  2. BO - JUMBO
  3. CO - DISCO & ZINCO
  4. DO - CREDO
  5. EO - KIDEO
  6. GO - ERUGO
  7. HO - LITHO
  8. IO - AMNIO
  9. JO - SHOJO
  10. KO - WACKO
  11. LO - OVOLO
