Hangman anyone? - 03/29/13 11:31 PM
I have no idea whether it will amuse anyone to play this sort of childhood idiocy game on-line, but I thought it might be fun to try. I am sure you all know how it works:
(i) I (and each successive setter) put up a blank word (so that all you know is the number of letters) ;
(ii) one of you guesses a letter and if you are correct it is inserted into the appropriate space(s) ;
(iii) a wrong guess of a letter results in another step towards (a complete drawing of) the gallows ;
(iv) as soon as there are enough letters to give you a chance, you try to guess the word;
(v) if you guess successfully you win and set the next word ;
(vi) if none of you guesses the word within a set number of guessed letters (probably ten, but let's see how we go), the setter wins and sets another word while the guessers get hanged ;
(vii) you can try to guess the word at any stage regardless of whether you have been one of those to guess a letter, and there will be no limit on the number of word guesses.
C H I P M U N K (8 letters) - successfully guessed by Curly with only two letters revealed!
Letters wrongly guessed so far: EATH
Number of letter guesses left: 6
