Five-Strike Hangman

I’ll start with E.

That’s my style too. :slight_smile:

There seem to be two E’s in here:

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

I hope I’m not making any mistakes. I keep counting and recounting. Spelling and respelling.
(People don’t spell in Romania. When they say CASA they write CASA.)

So, T is the next most common letter in English. Let’s go with that.

Do you speak English as your second language, or are you an expat living in Romania?

My brother and I were fascinated by the West as young Romanian people. My brother is an American citizen now whereas I’m comfortable here. :slight_smile:


Unfortunately there are not T’s in this sentence.

Strike one.


The sentence remains the same:

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

Amazing language skills on your part! I could never do this in, say, German, which I took in high school and college.

OK, one more guess from me, then I’m away for a while.

A

Thank you. It is very kind of you to say that. :slight_smile:
ETA: You should see my daughter - she literally grew up on the Internet. To say that she was a bilingual would be an understatement. (Yes, father loves his daughter.)


Yes, there are A’s in the sentence:

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

That’s a lot of blank space with no vowels, so I’m going with O.

Yes, there are O’s in this sentence:

/ ___ A ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ ___ E ___ / ___ E A ___ .

Here’s hoping the second-to-last word is a past-tense, and try for a D there.

No, sorry. There are no past tenses here. :slight_smile:


But there are two D’s in this sentence:

/ ___ A ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ ___ / ___ O ___ D / ___ O ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ ___ E ___ / D E A ___ .

R, please.

And then an I, if you would.

Thank you for your guesses. :slight_smile:


There is an R, indeed:

/ ___ A ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ ___ / ___ O ___ D / ___ O ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ ___ E ___ / D E A R .


Unfortunately, there are no I’s in this sentence.

Strike two.

Howsabout a C, then?

Well, C is a different story. :slight_smile:

/ ___ A ___ ___ / ___ O ___ ___ ___ / ___ O ___ D / C O ___ ___ / C O ___ C ___ E ___ / D E A R .

I think that third word could use an L, but I’ll take it anywhere.

Good thinking. :slight_smile:


/ L A ___ ___ / ___ O L ___ ___ / ___ O L D / C O ___ ___ / C O ___ C ___ E ___ / D E A R .

Is there a “G”, then?

Thank you for your guess. :slight_smile:


Unfortunately, there are no G’s in this sentence.

Strike three.


The sentence stays the same:

/ L A ___ ___ / ___ O L ___ ___ / ___ O L D / C O ___ ___ / C O ___ C ___ E ___ / D E A R .

All right, how 'bout an “S”?
