Here's puzzle no. 622. Enjoy! :)

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)

Below is the puzzle.

OOPS - I remember I had to wait for another member to post, but I thought a person could post if the puzzle host posted!

Someone else should get credit for my I! :(

Randi

No, that's OK. I did it yesterday with both Karen and you, so I'll let it pass this time, but I'll not do three in a row. ;)

Any guesses?

Karen
09-28-2014, 06:03 PM
Hmm, there's just one word I am stuck on, M for more please?

Catty1

Randi

I expect this will be the last update. ;) There are no M's, Karen - sorry.

I sent a guess! But If I guessed correctly, I will cede to the highest point-getter!

Catty1
09-29-2014, 12:27 PM
There is one word I'm totally stuck on! But I'll wait to see how Karen's guess turns out.:)

Randi

Karen, you got it! Looks like you're in charge of the next, Catty1?
