Puzzle 91
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 my email, [email protected] 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.
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)

Temper, temper, Zip!
How bout some B's, please?

Sorry! :o lol
How's aboutz a 'g'?

Yes, I did write it, it's first line is from a lovely hymn I could sing you!
I had goofed and left out an H - so before I add your letters, it should look like this:
In s-eet fields -f a-t--n
The --ld lea-es are fallin-
The d--s -ar- and -hase the-
Th---h their -asters are -allin-
The -ats sit -n -ind--sills
And ta-e in the -ar- s-nshine
All the h-rses -r-- their hea-- --ats
T- prepare f-r --ld -interti-e
All the d--s, -ats, -irds and --nnies
That -e all l--e and treas-re
Are s- -lad f-r their -ar- h--es, n--,
-hen n-rth -ind -rin-s --ld -eather
Which may help you with at least one of the words you're stumped on.
I'll go add your letters and post again in a minute.

Well, Phred guessed one correctly, but doesn't want his to count, and Zippycat missed a letter, though it's one that already in, so it was just a typo ...
So what shall we do?

I vote for Zippy-cat to be declared the WINNER!
GO! Zippy! :D
-
Just to be difficult (hey, it's a woman's right) I'll vote Phred! hee hee :D
-
Careful, you two, or I'll give it to Dixieland Dancer for the highest score!
I say if no one else guesses by tomorrow, we give it to Zippycat!
-
The answer was:
In sweet fields of autumn
The gold leaves are falling
The dogs bark and chase them
Though their masters are calling
The cats sit on windowsills
And take in the warm sunshine
All the horses grow their heavy coats
To prepare for cold wintertime
All the dogs, cats, birds and bunnies
That we all love and treasure
Are so glad for their warm homes, now,
When north wind brings cold weather
Well, no one else has guessed. So I say we give it to Zippycat, who just missed an s on the horses coatS.

I'll try and post one later tonight!
