    Puzzle #444 - away we go!

    Attention 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 do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)


    Here's the puzzle:

    “** *** ***’* ********* ***** ** **** *** **** ****** ** **** *** ***** ** *** *****. **** *** ** *** ***. ** *** ***** ** ******* **** *** *** ** ***** ******* ***, *** ** ***** *********** *** ***.”

    **** *****


    Letters to guess:
    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

    GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!

    I think we have another problem. The word in question is spelled two different ways, depending upon the site one visits.

    Allright - there's a flag on this play as well! I'm resolving it the same as I did the last time!

    Grace has made a guess which has one word spelled differently than the quote I pulled, but we're calling the puzzle closed again!

    Here is her guess:
    “Of all God’s creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”

    Mark Twain

    Here is the quote I had:
    “Of all God’s creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”

    Mark Twain

    Ok, leash, lash, whatever!! Differences in web sites!! I knew it would be quick; I didn't know we'd have another conflict!!

    In any case, Grace has won, but declined hosting the next puzzle, which means the next highest point getter has the option to host.

    RANDI - would you like to host the next puzzle?
