In this game, you are supposed to guess the word. That's it. The rules are as followed:

Rules: (Word Creator)

1. It may be no more than 6 letters. You must say the amount of letters in the word when you create the new word. It must be a legitimate word.
2. There can be no repeat letters (Ranger is not a valid word, there are two R's.)
3. When you are on the forum, check to see if there have been any guesses, and if so, post the correct number of letters. NOT letters in the correct place, simply # of correct letters.
3a. If a word is not legitimate, write some form of "no score" for it. If it is legitimate, but has 0 correct letters, score it as 0.
3b. If there is a repeated guess, you do not need to give a score for it if you don't want to. This includes words with the same exact letters! (I.E "hears" and "hares") You can give a repeated score, or not. It' at your discretion.

(Guesser)
4. Limit guesses to three words between word creator posts, otherwise things might get messy.
4a. The guesses should follow rule number 2 as well (no multiple letters). Additionally, if the word creator says that it has X letters, you should only guess legitimate words with X letters, else you have wasted a guess.
5. If you get the word first, you become the word creator.

If more rules need to be added, they will be later. Refer to this, the first post, if that is the case.

Here is an example: The word is "THIS" --- "A word with 4 letters"

Snoopy guesses:

hats
bang
grub

I respond

hats-3
bang-0
grub-0

Charlie Brown (and everyone else, so timing is important) can determine that s, t, and h are in the word, while b,a,n,g,r,u are not.

Charlie Brown then guesses

huts
hits
shot

I reply

huts-3
hits-4
shot-3

So they know that the word has "hits", but the order is incorrect.

You must get the exact word.

I won't be home for about 4 hours, so I can't figure it out before someone else will, but this is a cool game.

Using the process of elimination is key to this game.... eliminate the letters you know aren't in the word....

Try to figure out what letters are in the word first.... then the sequence of letters....

none of the chosen words will have any double letters.... you're just wasting a letter guess by using doubles in your guess word
