Time for another of these, I think, now that Adam's is essentially finished. To make up for the final group being automatic, I've added a fifth group to this one, and made a couple of amendments to the rules, as follows:
So, is that clear? If not, feel free to ask on what you're not sure about. If so, here are your 20 words. See if you can form five groups of four out of them: ![]() You will notice that the word 'Tango' appears twice. This is not a mistake: it occurs in two separate groups. Good luck! 1st group: Tango/Morris/Rain/Tap - guessed correctly by PL-Stokie. All types of dance - also guessed by PL-Stokie. 2nd group: Sierra/Hotel/India/Tango - guessed correctly by HeroofDarkness. Letters of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet - also guessed by HeroofDarkness. 3rd group: Blue/Micro/Potato/Poker - guessed correctly by HeroofDarkness. "-chip" - guessed by HeroofDarkness. 4th group: Family/Submarine/Power/Weapon - guessed correctly by PL-Stokie. "Nuclear-" - guessed by PL-Stokie. 5th group: Ecort/Focus/Fusion/Galaxy - automatic. All cars made by Ford - guessed by PL-Stokie. PL-Stokie: 70 points HeroofDarkness: 60 points |

Tango, Morris, Fusion and Tap. And I think I can get three of another group, but not the last one. That, or I could be completely wrong... Edited by Pyrite, May 11 2012, 09:00 PM.

You're on the right lines, but that's not right. You have 4 guesses left today. |

Okay...here goes. I've got three nailed down, but I'm guessing one of them. Blue, Family, Escort, Hotel? |

I have already solved the other 2 and reasonings. Those 2 are incorrect. |

And they're both correct, with the correct reasoning! You only win a 20-point prize for the first group (since the fifth group comes automatically once we have the other four), but you do win 10 points for each of the two reasonings. |

I give up. There's no use for me to even try. Answers solved before I get a chance. I need a dummies wall to play this game. I'll go post somewhere where I'm more useful, but it's less fun. |

You were pretty good in my first one.I think part of the problem is that these walls are too small, and five guesses per day is probably too many. It might be better to have, say, 9 groups of 4 (arranged in a 6x6 grid), and 4 guesses per day. |

I think 4 guesses is still a lot. I don't have an unlimited amount of time to come on, so by the time I do, the contest is over. I don't know if there's an easy solution. It's okay; you don't have to change it just because of me... |

What would you say is the ideal number of guesses? I think 3 is the lowest I could go and have it still workable; 1 or 2 would make the whole thing painfully slow. |

Er....I didn't expect that. I think three guesses per day...and you can only guess one group and one reason in each guess. Or you could do more mini-combos... BTW: For Blue, Family, Escort...I was thinking royal as the connection. |

It doesn't really matter what you do because these guys are so good they guess it on the first try. 3 guesses a day would be way more reasonable though. |

I must admit, I was very surprised how quickly people got them. I thought some of them might take a while. |

Mine was the same. HerofDarkness is just too good at this game, and PL-Stokie has proven his worth as well. Like I said, I'm more mad at myself for not being able to guess these properly. |

You were pretty good in my first one.
