Puzzle 224

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)

Two puzzle guesses were sent:
luckies4me at 12:57 am
and AmberLee at 12:56 am

AmberLee will be hosting Puzzle 225

The solution to 224 was:

Lassie looked brilliant, in part because the farm family she lived
with was made up of idiots. Remember? One of them was always
getting pinned under the tractor, and Lassie was always rushing
back to the farmhouse to alert the other ones. She'd whimper and
tug at their sleeves, and they'd always waste precious minutes
saying things: "Do you think something's wrong? Do you think
she wants us to follow her? What is it, girl?", etc., as if this had
never happened before, instead of every week. What with all
the time these people spent pinned under the tractor, I don't
see how they managed to grow any crops whatsoever. They
probably got by on federal crop supports, which Lassie filed
the applications for. ~ Dave Barry

Final scores:
koxka = 164 points
MissMeow = 97 points
Vio&Juni = 172 points
Casper & Kitty = 93 points

Thank goodness, I was gonna pass anyway. It's funny guessing, hehe:p
