Question: under usual Shiritori rules, can I continue with 蜘蛛（くも）“spider,” which uses different kanji but is the same pronunciation as 雲（くも）“cloud,” said previously? If not there are other く words I can use, but I thought it would be worth asking.

Looks like it’s an “optional rule” on Wikipedia:

  • Two words spelled with the same kana but different kanji may be permitted. For example, Su (す) can either be spelled as “巣” (lit. a birdnest) or “酢” (lit. vinegar).

I think in the interest of keeping the game going and not bogging the game down with too many rules, it’s fine to do that!
