- The Green Glass Door
The Green Glass Door is a common
word game where a player already introduced to the game (understands the 'trick' to it) gives clues to a new player about what does or does not belong behind the 'green glass door'.All the clues will have words that have exactly 2 duplicate letters which belong inside the green glass door. It is better to have the two items mentioned related in some way to greater confuse the individuals participating in the riddle.

Red Plastic Window , in which each word with no double letters is behind the Red Plastic Window.
