Word game fun

Katekat — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 01:26:37 GMT

Everyone would be familiar with the word game, Hangman!

Before we begin, here's some rules:

A person thinks of a word or words, posts how many letters there are in them and also add some basic clues but don't make it too easy.
Players must guess the word, one letter at a time. You can also guess the word without waiting but why spoil the fun?
The winner of the current round gets to post the next word!
All words must be in English, preferably AU English as this is an Australian site.

If this takes off, we might have some kind of leaderboard as well for a bit more fun 😀

Hrm. If the clue only loosely relates to the answer, there's going to be trouble. If the answer is something like "unicorn" (because a unicorn is not human), I can't promise respectful adult behaviour going forward.

I play hangman most nights with my three young sons at the dinner-table (a gift in itself, given that I'm past my cancer expiry date).

The thing I notice that's missing in this game is a scaffold. With the incorrect E, there should be some kind of a scaffold … the bottom wooden bit that the noose, hanged man etc goes on top of.

I guess mine might look something like this:

------------------

I \ I

O \ I

/ I \ I

/ \ I

___________________I

There, I did your job for you (all rights reserved, copyright Captain Australia 2019), and give you limited permission to use my design confined to the purposes of this game, and provided a royalty consideration is paid to me with each use, let's say 10c per piece of the scaffold, so given that E means the base is already there, I'm up 10c.

Oh, that means I have a financial incentive to lose the game.

My guess is X. Is there an X ?

Oh no! Maybe you should be barred from playing then Cap, as a conflict of interest??? 😉

Re: Word game fun

Katekat — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 08:27:47 GMT

Nope, no X sorry @CaptainAustrali 😂

I think I know what it is, and it's alarmingly close to 'Unicorn'.

I'll take an "R"
