Puzzle 267

[Karen]

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.

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 a Private Message or email me at [email protected].
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 if you win, you get to host the next puzzle!


Here's the (hopefully a real puzzler to solve) puzzle!

(Note - I fixed some typos from the last round, the "counts" were correct, just my typing was off (hence the Ds that appear when no one has guessed that letter - the "d" key being next to the "s" key, for example) ... but I think it's all fixed now!, sorry about that!)

How many breeds and kinds o- pets there are
I ne-er knew until we started Pet o- the Day!
Who knew a -oloit-cuintli e-isted, near or -ar
Or a Sphyn- would be not a statue, but a real li-e Cat o- the Day?

Who knew how many rescues we'd meet throu-h this site
Or how many rescuers who care day and ni-ht?

I didn't know about the Selkirk Re- with its curly -ur
Didn't know a prairie do- could be a pet, that's -or sure!

A Portu-uese Poden-o Medio, a de-u or duprasi
An Alaskan Klee Kai, a Scottish -old so sweet and sassy

These are not -ust creatures -rom a -airy tale or book
They're real li-e pets that we learn about and are hooked!

And there are the uni-ue breeds, the one o- a kind shelter -inds,
Whose ancestries are a pu--le, but the-'re -ems o- e-ery kind.

But o- all the purebreeds and mi-es, one thin- I always knew
Is that their people lo-e and cherish them, and -uess what?

We do, too!

PayItForward, you're out in that you cannot win, or send more guesses, but I put the Vs in anyway!

[Karen]

Cheshirekatt got it! It was:

How many breeds and kinds of pets there are
I never knew until we started Pet of the Day!
Who knew a Xoloitzcuintli existed, near or far
Or a Sphynx would be not a statue, but a real live Cat of the Day?

Who knew how many rescues we'd meet through this site
Or how many rescuers who care day and night?

I didn't know about the Selkirk Rex with its curly fur
Didn't know a prairie dog could be a pet, that's for sure!

A Portuguese Podengo Medio, a Degu or Duprasi
An Alaskan Klee Kai, a Scottish Fold so sweet and sassy

These are not just creatures from a fairy tale or book
They're real live pets that we learn about and are hooked!

And there are the unique "breeds," the one of a kind shelter finds,
Whose ancestries are a puzzle, but they're gems of every kind.

But of all the purebreeds and mixes, one thing I always knew
Is that their people love and cherish them, and guess what?

We do, too!

Do you want to host the next puzzle, or pass to bluekat, the next highest point-getter (PayItForward had a wrong guess)?

[Cheshirekatt]

I'll host again! This time I'll try to pick a more challenging puzzle. :D
