Puzzle #322

To newcomers: Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

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 Pet Talk Private message. (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 it to the member with the next highest points)

PM sent. :) (not holding my breath....LOL )

Catty1's guess was incorrect, so the puzzle is still awaiting a correct guess or another letter.

I have edited my last post, there were a couple extra hyphens that are now gone.

Pm sent

And wombat wins this one!

The correct quote is
"Old Turtle spoke. "God is indeed deep," she said to the fish in the sea;
"and much higher than high," she told the mountains.
"He is swift and free as the wind, and still solid as a great rock,"
she said to the breezes and stones.
"She is the life of the world," turtle said to the willow.
"Always close by, yet beyond the farthest twinkling light,"
she told the ant and the star.
"God is gentle and powerful. Above all things and within all things."
"God is all that we dream of, and all that we seek," said Old Turtle,
"All that we come from and all that we can find."
"God IS."
