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 - the lucky number 222! (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)

Deli dog got it! It was ...

The most distinctive feature of the alert, finely built Basenji becomes apparent only when it is disturbed - instead of barking like other dogs,
it has unique yodeling and chortling calls.

The Basenji was developed as a hunting dog in the Congo and it may be related to similar dogs portrayed on ancient Egyptian artifacts.

Green vegetables are favored by these dogs and should form part of their regular diet.
