Puzzle #635

[Karen]

Since I stumped everyone on the last one, I will host a new one, hopefully easier!

Puzzle number 635! 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)

Here is is!

I had missed an N earlier, and corrected the points!

[Catty1]

PM sent.

And no, the words were not alike at all. :)

[Karen]

OOh, you missed by one small word! Anyone else? a letter or a puzzle guess ... And Candace, when you see the final answer, you will go, "Doh! Of course!"

[cassiesmom]

G, please

[Karen]

G, please

Dang, there is no g, either! But all of the rest of the available letters are present, I promise!

Freckles: W(4) = 4
cassiesmom: B(3) = 3

Now I know someone will get it!

[Catty1]

K, 'nother PM sent!

[Karen]

As Candace had already guessed, she is technically out, so someone else needs to send me a guess!

[Catty1]

I just checked the rules. Although it doesn't address a situation like this directly, it says the winner can pass the next puzzle on to the person with the highest score.

So if no one else guesses a letter or sends you a PM, I guess you need to start another one or hand it to the one with the highest score? That person HAPPENS to be me.

Come on, folks!

[cassiesmom]

I sent a guess but I think I got the person's middle initial wrong. I'm fine with Catty1 being the winner :)

[Karen]

You got it! So you want to pass to Candace?

[cassiesmom]

You got it! So you want to pass to Candace?

Yes, please :)

[Karen]

Yes, please :)

Okay, I will let her know! It was really no contest, points wise!

[Karen]

I forgot to post the solution, it was:

How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven.

If Lady's Human had been participating, I am sure he would have gotten it quickly, as Heinlein is a favorite author of ours, and well known for his love of cats!
