I'm going to make this game with a twist, like Wheel of Fortune.


-5 for vowels
+5 for consonants

Depending on how many points you have at the end, that's how many posts you get. If it's more than one word, press enter.

Hang on...here's a thought. With your scoring system, you'd get more posts if you took longer to get the word. Surely that's not right?

Maybe it'd be better to do something like: start at 100 posts, -2 for each consonant, -10 for each vowel?

In any case, my next guess is...S

Ack - I forgot. You can't do multiple spaces in a row on ZB >_< .

Anyway, mine is two words, with an M, but no T:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ M
_ _ _ _ _ _

Oh, yeah: we're using this prize system in this round:

  • When you solve, you win 50 posts, plus an additional 5 for every letter in the phrase that hasn't yet been revealed, and;
  • For every vowel that has been guessed, 5 posts are taken from your prize;
  • For every letter that's been guessed that isn't there, 5 posts are taken away.
  • For every incorrect attempt to solve, 25 posts are taken away.

    So, at the moment, the score is as follows:

    50 (Base score)
    +75 (15 letters left)
    - 0 (No vowels guessed)
    - 5 (T wasn't there)
    - 0 (No incorrect attempts to solve yet)
    ___
    = 120 posts

    (By the way, if this reaches 0 or goes negative, the round is lost, and the host (in this case, me) will post another one).
