Puzzle #573

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 are unable to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

Here’s the puzzle!

I'm sorry but I may have messed you all up because I missed so many letters this morning. I tryed working on the puzzle when I should have waited.

Maybe it is still a good puzzle.

That's okay. I knew you would fix the problems.

Wom was correct in his guess. Again I'm sorry for messing up on this puzzle.
Since I messed up equally between you two there was no advantage.

I feel that Nikola Tesla's dream to someday to be acknowledged for his work has not happen yet. Edison/GE have taken credit for Nikola works and unless I'm not aware of today's history lessons, the truth is not his yet. One company in California thinks so much about Tesla works they chose to name their car after him. The TESLA is a rolling tribute to the him.

I'm almost positve Wom will host the next puzzle.

“If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack,”

“The spread of civilisation may be likened to a fire; First, a feeble spark, next a flickering flame, then a mighty blaze, ever increasing in speed and power."

“Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.”

(Nikola Tesla)
