Five-Strike Hangman

Yes, we’re waiting.
I was thinking whether there can be any way to fill these unavoidable periods of inactivity with some sort of game in a game activity.

‘N’ first:

/ RODE / IN / ON / A / G R E _ _ O U N D / BUT / I’LL / BE / _ A L _ I N G / OUT / IF / I / GO /

And then ‘Y’:

/ RODE / IN / ON / A / G R E Y _ O U N D / BUT / I’LL / BE / _ A L _ I N G / OUT / IF / I / GO /

Carry on, ladies and/or gentlemen…

I’ve got a terrible H

What the H:

/ RODE / IN / ON / A / GREYHOUND / BUT / I’LL / BE / _ A L _ I N G / OUT / IF / I / GO /

W, please.

I’d like to guess K. :slight_smile:

Now that the power’s back on…

“Rode in on a Greyhound but I’ll be walking out if I go.”

All yours, PT.

Thank you. :slight_smile:


Here is the new sentence:

_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _.

And the game rules again, just in case:

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.

I’ll go with the most popular letter again. “E”.

And to help things along… A, eh?

The second most common letter: T

Thank you for your guesses.


There are E’s and T’s in this sentence, but unfortunately, there are no A’s here.

Strike one.


Here is the sentence now:

_ E _ / _ E _ _ _ _ / _ _ T _ _ E _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ E _ / _ E _ T _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ E.

Still need some vowels. Let’s try “O”.

There are O’s, of course. :slight_smile:

_ E _ / _ E _ _ O _ / _ _ T _ _ E _ _ / _ O O _ / _ O _ E _ / _ E _ T _ _ / O _ _ _ _ E.

The second most common consonant: N

Yes, there are N’s as well:

_ E _ / _ E N _ O _ / _ _ T _ _ E N _ / _ O O _ / _ O _ E _ / _ E _ T _ _ / O N _ _ _ E.

Guessing an “R” here.

Thank you. There are several R’s here:

_ E _ / _ E N _ O R / _ _ T _ _ E N _ / _ O O _ / _ O _ E R / _ E R T _ _ / O N _ _ _ E.

I, please.
