What is Acrophobia?

Acrophobia is a real-time multiplayer word game where players compete to create the funniest phrases from random acronym letters. Each round, everyone sees the same letters and races to write a phrase where each word starts with the corresponding letter. Then you vote on the best answer — and the funniest player wins.
