Also seems that people are a bit too keen to post the "stopword" soon after 8pm without trying to create a nice finish
Perhaps the hyphen could be restricted to names?

Yesterday we had "broke-the" as the second word posted....
Maybe treat "-" or anything else non-alpha as a separator?

Agreed

When posting the stopword its usually to finish a load of nonsense rather than a story. It seems some people are just to keen to post a load of rubbish rather than think about the storyline.
Whilst it was a good idea to start it. It seems that many people just saw it as a laugh and a way to gain a few shares.

It would probably make a better story if you could post 2 words at a time

I think it was a fun idea that could have worked with either 1 or 2 words done properly, however it just became a random collection of words last time I looked rather than even attempting to make a funny/witty story.

Sorry, tried to get into the spirit of this - but for me it was an idea that, sadly, didn't really work.

a few times 2 members posted at the same time ,so both words were added which led to an odd sentence
