Puzzle 81!

[Karen]

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.
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 my email, [email protected]
DO NOT post a guess 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.

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)

(-) is a hyphen in the text

Here is the puzzle, good luck.

I went out to the hazel wood,
-ecause a fire was in m- head,
And cut and -eeled a hazel wand,
And -atted m- faithful doggie's head;

And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth(-)li-e stars were flic-ering out,
I flung the stic- into a stream
For good old Laddie to fetch out.

When he had laid it on the ground,
I went to throw it -ac- again,
-ut he s-otted something in the -rush
And stared as if it had called his name.

It was a forgotten old tennis -all,
Gre- with age, and languishing there;
I threw it hard, and Laddie, ha---, ran
Chasing his old lo-e through the morning air.

I went out to the hazel wood,
-ecause a fire was in m- head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And patted m- faithful doggie's head;

And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth(-)like stars were flickering out,
I flung the stick into a stream
For good old Laddie to fetch out.

When he had laid it on the ground,
I went to throw it -ack again,
-ut he spotted something in the -rush
And stared as if it had called his name.

It was a forgotten old tennis -all,
Gre- with age, and languishing there;
I threw it hard, and Laddie, happ-, ran
Chasing his old lo-e through the morning air.

With apologies to W. -. -eats


The rules say "Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle." so I didn't put the B's in, sorry delidog ...

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

I sent a guess.

[Karen]

Okay, folks, what now? Souraya, who hasn't guessed a letter, so technically can't win, sent a correct guess. Shall we give it to her?

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

I thought I had guessed a letter. I say wait fot the next person to send in the right guess. Rules are rules!

[Dixieland Dancer]

I say give it to Souraya! Better luck to the rest of us next time.

[delidog]

give to soraya.........the deli dog
