When I played hangman as a wee lad, the setter identified a category that the clue was pulled from. I don't know what all of the categories were. If we go this route we could probably come up with our own. This one is a movie title: Gone In Sixty Seconds (4 words -> 4,2,5,7) Guessed by Redz Wrong Guesses: AR Same posting rules apply. The gallows are ready

Very sporting of you to give us a category clue.

"dictionary" it is, Flo Do you want to have a go? Okay, Joan. Maybe "bashful" was pushing it a little.

If using the gifs (illustrations) is what bothers you, they can always be left out: all that is really needed is the setting of the puzzle and the monitoring of guesses. Alternatively, instruction is available on use of the gifs if required (no more complicated than use of smilies).

That's the spirit! Have a look at the PM that I sent to you. It explains how to use the gif's and gives you the link locations. If you don't want the bother, then have at it without them!
