Game: Lingo II (MA)

[Zak]

Alot of you who hang out in the TPM AIM chats are familiar with this game.


Alright, alot of you are probably familiar with the TV show Lingo. Basically, the host chooses a word, people guess, and like in Mastermind, the say what letters are misplaced, what letters are right, what letters are wrong.

So, basically, I'm gonna pick a 5 letter word, and the rest of you will post guesses. However, I'm not gonna say WHICH letters are right, misplaced, and wrong. Instead, I'll say HOW MANY are right, misplaced, and wrong.

Example: Say the word is "stick".
Somebody guesses "trike".
I would say "1 right, 2 misplaced, 2 wrong"

It doesn't matter how many guesses are posted before I post, as long an individual person posts no more than one guess between each time I post.

Whoever wins and guesses the word gets to do his own word and have us guess it.

Get the idea?

If not, just watch, and you'll understand it.


So.... last person to guess a word was Lady Vulpix, so she's doing the first word now. I don't know what her word is, but I do know it's a 7-letter word.

Here are the scores so far:

ILikePokemon: 5
Lady Vulpix: 20
Zak: 18
Whiteangel: 1
Gamewizard007: 1
HanyouPrincess: 1
Faithless: 7
JamieC: 1
Citrus Crush Chikorita: 3
Crystalmaster Mike: 2
Venuskazam714: 2
Icy: 2

Vibgyor are the colours of the rainbow in order (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, etc.) so no it isn't a word. I found that it fit every word but Grounds so I thought I'd guess it
