This is my first attempt at doing this. If I mess up, sorry...please have patience w/ me :D :D
Puzzle 286
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 me via Pet Talk personal email. [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)
Here is the puzzle:
---- -- - ---?

Good luck Lerah, you'll do fine. :) I'll start with an E, please.
One piece of advise though - when you update, don't try to hurry, take your time and get it right. You can use replace in Word.

Anyone want to guess? I'm not going to be on the internet this weekend, so I'm hoping that you all will get to guessing the letters and solve this puzzle tomorrow. Otherwise you'll just have to wait until Monday:p :D

Amber,
N has already been guessed. Please choose another letter.
That counts as one miss. 5 misses remain.

Koxka,
You got it:
Here's the solution:
What Is A Cat?
Gentle eyes
that see so much,
paws that have
the quiet touch.
Purrs to signal
"all is well"
and show more love
than words can tell.
Graceful movements
touched with pride,
a calming presence
by our side.
A friendship
that will last and grow,
small wonder
why we love them so.
