Hoping for an "M.

22

Great guess this time. :slight_smile:

There are four m’s in this sentence.

/M _ / _ _ M / _ O T / S T _ _ _ / T O / M _ / M O _ T H.

23

Which leads to a guess of “Y”.

24

Of course. :slight_smile:

You are almost there:

/ M Y / _ _ M / _ O T / S T _ _ _ / T O / M Y / M O _ T H.

25

And U. I think I have it, but I’d like to see the three letter __M first.

26

Of course, again. :slight_smile:
There are there u’s in this sentence.

Here is the sentence now:

/ M Y / _ U M / _ O T / S T U _ _ / T O / M Y / M O U T H.

27

And then the “G”.

28

Indeed. :slight_smile:

I’m not going to use all those capital letters again:

/ M y / g u m / g o t / s t u _ _ / t o / m y / m o u t h.

29

Hmm. Whew. We-ell… what about a “C”?

30

Sure. There is a C there. :slight_smile:

/ M y / g u m / g o t / s t u c _ / t o / m y / m o u t h.

31

And the remaining letter must be K.

32

Yes, the last letter is K.
I lose.

M y / g u m / g o t / s t u c k / t o / m y / m o u t h.

Congratulations everyone!
@Monty, would you like to post the next sentence?

33

Sure!

___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ .

34

Thank you for the next sentence. :slight_smile:

I’ll take a chance and guess E.

35

And you get six! That would’ve been a very good purchase on Wheel of Fortune.

___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ E ___ ___ ___ E ___ / ___ ___ E / ___ ___ E / ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ E ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ E ___ .

36

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Now if nobody else wants to guess, I’ll take another chance and guess T.

37

It’s a good thing we’re not playing Battleship; you got another two hits!

___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ E ___ ___ ___ E ___ / T ___ E / ___ ___ E / ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ E ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ T ___ / ___ ___ ___ E ___ .

38

Thank you . In Battleship I am not sure I would be as lucky as here.

When a player uses long sentences, it is very likely that the letter E should occur in some word(s).
And if two of these are three letter words that end in E, chances are that one of them will start with T because it may be a definite article. :slight_smile:

Therefore, my next guess is H.

39

I want to guess an “R”, please.

40

Those two choices give us:

___ / H ___ ___ / R E ___ ___ H E ___ / T H E / ___ ___ E / ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ / H ___ ___ ___ R E ___ / ___ ___ ___ / ___ ___ ___ T ___ / ___ ___ ___ E ___ .
