Here 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 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 your puzzle
play to the member with the next highest points)

You know, Scott, I begin to suspect we are a little obsessive about these puzzles.

Randi, I have already guessed H, besides, you can't have to guesses back to back, someone else has to guess between them.
