For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Word Logic

Fri Jun 06, 2014 7:35 pm

The host chooses a secret word and reveals how many letters are in the word. Other players guess the word, and the host posts how many letters they got in the correct spot, how many letters they put in the incorrect spot, and how many letters were totally wrong. Once someone guesses a word correctly, that round is over, and the winner becomes the host of the next round.

Here's an example:

Host:
5 letters.

Guesser 1:
FLAME

Host:
FLAME 1, 0, 4

Guesser 2: DRUMS 1, 0, 4
Guesser 1: STOMP 0, 2, 3

Host:
FLAME 1, 0, 4
DRUMS 1, 0, 4
STOMP 0, 2, 3

Guesser 1:
KOANS

Host:
FLAME 1, 0, 4
DRUMS 1, 0, 4
STOMP 0, 2, 3
KOANS 2, 1, 2

Guesser 2:
CHAOS

Host: CHAOS was correct. It's <Guesser 2>'s turn to host.

Note that in FLAME, the A was in the correct spot. In DRUMS, the S was in the correct spot. In STOMP, both the S and O were in the incorrect spot. Finally, in KOANS, the A and S were in the correct spot, and the O was in the wrong spot.

First word: 6 letters.

Cool game, Siniri! One guess per post?

SINIRI


P.S. That's a good "EEEEEE", not a bad "EEEEEE". The intonation was is very different between the two :P

Yes, one guess per post. And no double-posting, as per forum rules. *cough* Blue *cough*

SINIRI 0, 0, 6

Wow, you guys have already eliminated nearly half the alphabet... (okay, nearly 1/3 of the alphabet...)

Absolutely correct. Double posting is not allowed here in the PPT forums, per the forum rules.
