No feedback? I'll start another game, with the same rules. I hope it's harder this time! 
code:
* * * *****- L *****--*-- M * * * *****--+-- J * *| | *****+--+-- WOL | *| | | *| | | || | J WM L O L Across Down Across Down Lingo 1.cRiEs 1. Jotto 1.RAISE-1 1. 2. 2. Mastermind 1. 1. Wheel of 1.FROND 1. Letters -23 2.

WOL Across: ASPEN-00000 -- CORRECT!
Question: How can I make this game harder? It's obvious I made it too easy, with you solving all the words so quickly (30 out of 54 allowed guesses!).
Then again, everyone ALWAYS solves Botticelli, and the mods don't say "20 questions is too much!" So, what should I do? Leave the game as-is, or modify it?
------------------ GL DPWestley: I had my backspace key removed and a beverage dispenser pur in it's place. See? I can't go back and fix "put." GLmathgrant: I once was banned from a M:TG tourney for bringing over 50 banned cards! They were Ace of Clubs, Ace of Diamonds, Ace of Hearts, Ace of Spades, 2 of Clubs. . .

but Jotto Down has an 'L' in the fourth position.

Mastermind Across: 2. SPARE-20 Mastermind Down: 2. SPITE-22 Jotto Across: 4. QUALM-5 -- CORRECT! Jotto Down: 2. CLOSE-4 WOL Down: 2. MELEE-00000 -- CORRECT!
[side note]No one ever uses the word MELEE. I don't think it was ever used until Nintendo announced the title for their Super Smash Bros. sequel. [/sn]
[sn2]With MELEE solved so quickly, I'm wondering if I offered too many guesses for WOL. "Wheel" just have to see the fate of WOL Across to decide that [/sn2]

I know what Lingo Across is, but I will choose to let someone else take it.
Lingo Down: QUEST
And I'll try this:
Jotto Across: QUAIL |

LW's SPELT came first, so I will use it.
WOL Across: 1. FJORD-15 WOL Down: 1. LUNGE-0122 Mastermind Across: 1. SUINT-11 Mastermind Down: 1. ORATE-22 Lingo Across: 4. SPElT Lingo Down: 4. gUild
Only one guess is left for each Lingo. You must guess correctly or I win. I'm sure you'll get them right though

Since nobody's started on Mastermind and Wheel of Letters, I'll be the first.
WOL Across: FJORD WOL Down: LUNGE Mastermind Across: SUINT Mastermind Down: ORATE Lingo Across: SPELT Lingo Down: GUILD
The above words were chosen based on a calculation that, on average, we'd get more information from them than most other words. (Yes, I did have a reason for trying GUILD: the four remaining possibilities for that one are "blest", "doest", "guest", and "quest".)
Hope we get some more participants. |
