    Duke, I notice your post is edited ?? Editing hangman guesses is typically disallowed ...
    It's not explicitly in the rules (guesses cannot be changed is not exactly the same as posts cannot be edited), but it's a big no-no. I suggest we give him the benifit of the doubt, and clarify rule 5 for next time.

    • And the coccyx is the tailbone, Paddy.

        • Well I voted C and Coccyx in the same post, but then realised that unless C was correct, then that would be all the lives used up, so just posted the word. It wasn't a case of letter then word, which would be questionable, but both together - you can guess the word at any time, right.

          • It refers to a body part. "Tailbone" is the normal word for it.

            • The problem duke is that it was edited ... that's a no-no in hangman, as we have no way of knowing what you edited it from.

              And you can guess a word at any time except when you guessed a letter on that set of guesses.

              • C and Coccyx would have broken rule 7, meaning only your C guess would have been counted. Changing C to Coccyx breaks rule 5.

                I vote that no points be awarded, and that Jaguar sets the new word.

                • You'll all just jealous!



                  Sure, play on - if it was correct!

                  • Let the Duke keep the point and start new word. His edit looks convincing to me. Also it was done prior to the next post

                    • That's the whole point, James.

                      • Since Duke's guess is invalid I'll guess word.

                          For the record, I vote the same.

                          • There is no need for that. We have a valid guess, my guess. The game should go on.

                            I would like to renounce my point if my guess is correct, but my valid guess stays.

                            • Coccyx is correct.

                              If we consider ljube's guess the valid one, but don't award him a point, then he has an opportunity to win points with his next word, which is not particularly fair since his guess wasn't exactly an original one. On the other hand, I would possibly get "free points" from getting to set a new word.

                              I defer this debate to the more senior members of the Hangman FG.
