Puzzle #615
We haven't had a puzzle for awhile. I read this quote and it made me smile, so I'll host.
New players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!
These 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 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 are unable to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

[Note from your puzzle-host: I have a team meeting this morning so I'll be on break later than usual. That will be my next chance to update, probably between 1 and 2. There is good news to be shared in the team meeting so I am happy this morning :)]

Oh, Can I play? Just to guess a letter mainly. I so missed this.
A, please!

O please. :)
I'm busy in Burnaby BC but am trying to keep up here!

Just one word I am getting stuck on, so ... L please!

Karen is right! I read this quote and it made me smile! I've learned so much about dogs from PT.
"A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down."

Karen's PM also said she wishes to cede to the next highest point-getter, and that's Catty1. Thank you, puzzle participants for letting me host again! You're the best!
Thank you,
Elyse

Of course, Karen figgers it out. Guessed the quote, just not the source.

OH gosh glad I checked in! I am not on the computer much since being in BC. Busy with my cousin and taking a BREAK today! I have the use of his car, which certainly helps with appointments.
But I digress. I shall search for a quote and start the next puzzle!:):)
