Five-Strike Hangman

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.

Here’s the sentence for the next round:

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

How about an S ?

Thank you for your guess. :slight_smile:
Unfortunately, there are no S’s in this sentence.

Strike 1.

‘E’ for me.

T, please.

Thank you. :slight_smile:
There are both E’s and T’s in this sentence:

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

“O” please.

There are O’s as well:

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

An ‘H’?

Yes. :slight_smile:

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

D, please.

Here is the sentence with the D’s inside:

H E / _ _ _ E D / D _ E / T O / T H E / _ _ O _ _ / _ O _ _ _ E T .

U, please.

And the U’s:

H E / _ U _ E D / D U E / T O / T H E / _ _ O _ _ / _ O U _ U E T .

Perhaps a ‘B’?

Yes, sure. :slight_smile:

H E / _ U _ E D / D U E / T O / T H E / _ _ O _ _ / B O U _ U E T .

How about an “R”?

Thank you for your guess. :slight_smile:
Unfortunately, there are no R’s in this sentence.

Strike two.

No R? That destroys my theory about the sixth word.

Q, I guess.
