Puzzle 220

[luckies4me]

Feel free to guess while I get this up ok......:)

[luckies4me]

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 or email me at [email protected]. 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. If the winner should chose not to host the next puzzle, they can pass it on to the next higest scorer. In the event that more than one person guesses correctly and the first correct guesser does not want to host, the puzzle will be passed on to the next correct guesser. :)

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)

I'm used to askerisking out profanity on another forum, so it looks like a whole post of cussing right now! But that's a good idea, that way you don't run into the "what do I put for a hyphenated word?" problem!

[luckies4me]

I find it a lot easier this way. When I use dashes you can't see the spaces between letters or words and this way you can. :) But yep you are right, a solution to that problem.

Karen correctly guessed the puzzle. Here it is:


Ethoxyquin, a chemical preservative, was originally developed as a rubber stabilizer. It was later refined for use as a preservative in animal feeds. Before the late 1980's there was little Ethoxyquin used in pet foods. After companies started to make high performance feeds they began to use more of this chemical
to extend the shelf life of their products. Shortly after this, some pet owners began to see dramatic changes in their animals. Puppies were dying, deformed or stillborn. One breeders prized studs throat looked like raw hamburger and every time he walked he would leave a trail of blood.

Everyone, I URGE you to PLEASE research Ethoxyquin. You can type it into your search engine and many sites will come up. Here is a very good link that also has a video. It is a little old but the video is AWESOME!!!!Ethoxyquin (http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/mp30/ethoxyquin.html#)
