**GAME RULES** It is a sentence hangman. The original player posts the structure of the sentence. The letters are not revealed since they are supposed to be found out by the rest of the players. Players make their guesses. Only letter guesses are admitted. Sentence or word guesses are not allowed. One guess per post. The original player regularly updates the sentence by revealing the letters that have been guessed correctly. Incorrect guesses are mentioned and tallied. When five incorrect guesses have been accumulated, the original player wins and gets to post the next sentence. If all the letters in the sentence have been guessed correctly before accumulating five incorrect guesses, the player who has made the last correct guess wins and gets to post the next sentence, thus becoming the original player for the next round. ---
