Guess the 16-letter word game

Thread Games
1

The title says it all. The game master gives the letters the word is composed of and players are supposed to guess it.
The game master must also offer at least one clue of any kind. The first person to guess the word becomes the next game master and gets to post the next “word.” I think there should be a time limit too, but I’m not sure.

Here are the letters the first word consists of, in alphabetical order:

A E E H I I L N N O P R T T V Y

My clue is to present the letters in a Wordament-like square, where you can collect a word by placing your finger on the first letter of the word and then dragging to each adjacent letter until you’ve completed the word:

I T N E
L H V R
A T Y E
N O I P

Please post any questions, observations, or suggestions you have.

Good luck! :slight_smile:

Are the last seven letters —ILATION?

(I keep seeing “ventilation” but that’s no good.)

3

Yes, indeed. You are very close. :slight_smile:
(I’m talking about the 11 letter word already identified.)

4

I’m panting too hard to play this game.

5

Me too, but I have to force myself somehow. I like playing Wordament, where once in a while there is a long word to find. I only managed to find it once. I know the game I made here is different, but it is good practice. It might be too much of a challenge, but word game lovers may enjoy it. Or not. We’ll see. :slight_smile:

6

Well, with “ventilation” already found, it must be “hyperventilation”.

7

Yes, of course. You win this round! :trophy:
Please post the next “word” for us to guess.
:slight_smile:

@Prof.Pepperwinkle … so where’s the next word? ::taps foot impatiently::

One round, and I think I’m already addicted to this game.

Sorry for the delay, Carol!

Question: are the last seven letters “ability”?

11

And we could use a clue too, please. :slight_smile:

12

Oh, and DavidNRockies wrote this post as an allusion to the answer.

I received a PM with clarifications but apparently DavidNRockies did not wish to be declared the winner within the game thread.

13

As I have said before, a clue should have been provided.

However I think I have found the word. The letters are the following:

What about BIODEGRADABILITY?

14

Sorry. I will endeavor to remember clues in the future.

BIODEGRADABILITY is correct. Well played, Placebo! Take it away.

15

Thank you.

The new word to guess has the following letters:

ACCDINNNOOORRTTY

Here is the clue:

T O O N
N R C N
A I T R
D C O Y

Like last time, my clue is to present the letters in a Wordament-like square, where you can collect a word by placing your finger on the first letter of the word and then dragging to each adjacent letter until you’ve completed the word.

16

Contradictory’s only 13. Hmmm.

17

But you’re on the right path actually. :slight_smile:

18

Noncontradictory?

19

I think you have it.

20

To give credit where credit is due, you did the hard part.

I’ll assume I get to go now. Here are the letters of my word:

AEHH IMNO OOPP RRTZ

Here’s a clue: My cat gets jealous of the freedom the dog has, while the dog is envious of all the admiration the cat receives.
