The goal is simple: outwit your colleagues to get your headlines published. Brainstorm a pool of words together in the writers’ room, then put your wits to the test as you respond to the editor's prompts. Craft the most side-splitting headlines imaginable by combining your assigned words, and then battle it out as you vote to see who goes to print.
