    Hangman Rules, History and Standings

    Rules
    • 1. A maximum of 9 incorrect guesses.
    • 2. Updates will occur in sets of 2, except for the final 2 guesses, which will be updated individually. An update must also occur after each word guess. Updates must be posted within 24 hours once the appropriate number of guesses have been made.
    • 3. Any letters guessed after the conditions for an update set out in rule 2 have been met, but before the actual update, will be ignored, and will not carry over to the next set of guesses.
    • 4. You can only pick one letter for every two consecutive sets of guesses.
    • 5. Guesses cannot be changed after being posted.
    • 6. You can guess the word at any time, subject to the qualification in rule 7, but guessing incorrectly eliminates you from play.
    • 7. If you make a letter guess you may not make a word guess before an update has occured. The converse also applies as a consequence of rule 2.
    • 8. Incorrect word guesses also count as losing a life.
    • 9. Words must be 5 or more letters. If the word is exactly 5 letters and the last letter is S, the first four letters must not make a standard english word.
    • 10. Words must be standard english, and cannot be proper nouns, slang, informal or abbreviations. Dictionary.com will be used for verification in the case of a disputed word. If a word is set that is in violation of this rule no point can be awarded and the floor is open for a new player to set a word.
    • 11. Word or letter guesses that are not possible correct answers, including guesses that would violate Rule 10, and guesses that include already-eliminated letters, shall not count against the wrong guesses for the players, but in the case of word guesses, shall eliminate the guesser from play for the remainder of that word.

          I was the hangman for the local jail, but they found out I was in the mafia and sent me off to nuclear war.

                  Hmm...

                  There is a Macedonian word that would fit.

                      I'll go for the Macedonian word. It's awkward enough.

                      oryza

                        It's not Macedonian (only). It's the genus that rice belongs to.
                        And, as such, in dictionary.com. Or are we going to change the rules again to prevent botanical terms?

                          Yeah, but in Serbian we say rice (riza in Serbian) while Macedonians say oryza. I would have never thought of the word had it not been for the Macedonian variation.

                          My first impression when I guessed A was: Gee, this A is in the wrong place.

                              Clearly a made up word.
