Puzzle #418

[Karen]

New players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

These are the rules:

1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk Private message. (This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts). DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win ... you get to create the next puzzle.

(Should you win the game and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

ChrisH - you and Moesha must have been posting almost at the same time, so she got the u's!

[Moesha]

I'll take a guess.

[Karen]

She had a couple mistakes, so folks, any more guesses of letters or answers?

[ChrisH]

L please Karen

[ChrisH]

I'll hazard a guess. :)

[Karen]

Oh, so close, but she missed a word!

There is no couturier as st-lish as a ne--orn -iraffe, as -eautiful as a
sunrise o-er a calm ocean, no desi-ner -ho can utilize stripes as

Awaiting guesses!

[pitc9]

ONE word has me stumped!!
I'll take the G's for now.

[Karen]

KillearnKitties got it! It was:

There is no couturier as stylish as a newborn giraffe, as beautiful as a
sunrise over a calm ocean, no designer who can utilize stripes as
stylishly as a single zebra. No amount of sequins can dazzle the eye
like the quiet wonder of the sky on a clear country midnight.
Sometimes I think the best thing human artists can aspire to is to
capture even a small piece of the beauty nature has given us, and
present it in a way that we see it anew and appreciate it afresh.
The whole of the beauty around us is simply
overwhelming, sometimes, so goes unnoticed.

Karen, in response to the Picasso quote from the last puzzle.

[Randi]

Well done KK! That was a difficult one, but good. :)

[Karen]

Yay, she has agreed to host the next puzzle!
