Too many rules can ruin a game. This game is more fun than competitive. Explain to me: Why no to plurals and yes to gerunds or past participles? -
You can't have those, they are plurals.Originally posted by Ljube-ljcvetko

This is why I suggested that rule 7 should read:
7. Incorrect word guesses don't count as losing a life.
I still consider it a better solution than limiting the scope of eligible words.Comment

Why bother guessing letters then?Comment

Because if you guess the word wrong, you are out of contention for that word.Comment

Ljube that's not a good suggestion, and certainly not as a response to the fact that certain groups of letters have lots of words that fit them. It's a good strategy to pick such words, and usually in doing so you give up the chance to pick words with nasty letters in them.Comment

The word here can still be singular though:
Morph, porch, world and corps all fit.

OK, I'll agree to that, if you agree to allow plurals.Comment
