Puzzle #593

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)

[Karen]

Now I think I've got it, one word was still puzzling me until the O's appeared! Will send a guess ...

[Karen]

Happylabs let me know I made a mistake, so someone else needs to guess now! (And it was a word I "knew" just typed wrong, so check your spelling before you send a guess in!)

[happylabs]

Karen was the first to guess the correct answer to the puzzle:

A Labrador retriever is a highly versatile breed which is considered

one of the best canine breeds trained as a therapy dog.

They are hard*working breeds with an extraordinary intelligence

that makes them good candidates for training to become proficient

in the demands of a therapy dog‘s nature of work.

A Lab is also known for its friendliness and sociability. Its

sunny disposition makes it an excellent family dog.

She has conceded to the highest point getter to make the next puzzle.

[happylabs]

I think I messed up here. Karen made a guess but she had one word wrong. Then she guessed again and got it right and then mrspunkysmom guessed but maybe Karen shouldn't have guessed two times in a row. I am confused. Somebody help me please! :(

[mrspunkysmom]

I think it should go to Pinot's Mom. :) Pinot, do a good job helping your meowmie! Help her make it a good puzzle!

[Pinot's Mom]

I'll post one in a little while; Pinot and I have to have a consultation. ;)

She's a little busy right now trying to make her Dad feel guilty for us being gone all day yesterday, so she's indicating a romp may be in order to compensate. ;)

The critters sure know how to put on a pity face. ;) Mine let me know when I have erred, too. :D
