catrub This is a slight variation on the good old basic version, in that the setter may present a well-known phrase containing more than one word, or a single word at his/her choice and players can guess two letters at a time. The players have a limited number of guesses (I am trying 7 for the moment) to solve the puzzle or they end up hanged. If you guess the answer correctly, you get to set the next word/phrase, otherwise the previous setter goes again.

The rules are simple and (I hope) familiar:

(i) A player guesses one or two letters and any correct letters will be placed by the setter wherever (and however many times) they appear in the outline of the word/phrase. If the guess is wrong the setter starts to construct the gallows using the instructions and URLs below, also listing the incorrect guesses. If you choose to guess two letters at a time and they are both wrong, that will count as two steps toward the completion of the gallows. scared

(ii) The above process continues until a player feels able to have a shot at guessing the whole word/phrase. If the guess is correct that player wins and becomes the next setter. A wrong guess is one more step towards completion of the gallows.

(iii) There is nothing to prevent one player from making consecutive guesses, or from jumping in when someone else seems to be hogging a whole game.

(iv) Do not be put off playing by having to construct the gallows and feel free to substitute your own version of it: as long as you keep track of the wrong guesses somehow, that will be fine. This could be a great opportunity to broaden your computer skills, as it was for me!

(v) Beware of transatlantic spelling differences (aka American spelling errors)! wink

Instructions for setters on creating the picture of the gallows and hanged person

The picture steps (kindly contributed by Pandora) are in a photobucket album on the internet which are accessed by using one of the urls (web addresses) below, and here's how you do it:

In the full reply screen one of the option buttons across the top is "enter an image" which then offers you a choice of various image positions to insert followed by a dialogue box for a url.

You just copy and paste the url you need into the dialogue box, deleting and replacing (using the edit process) as you go through the game and want to change the picture.

[I have been using the position "non-floating image"]

In case of any problem, just ask for help: you should know by now how readily that is available at Gameboomers!

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
