[Game] Lingo Version 17!

[Lady Vulpix]

Cowabunga again?!

[Knight of Time]

Yeah...I was floored when I checked the list of Lingo plushies won and found it was there...the only real reason I came up with it was because of a DVD collection I started to build of a certain group of crime fighting turtles...and cowabunga happens to be the catchphrase of none other than Michaelangelo (or Michelangelo).

But anyway, if you want it, here's your new cowabunga plushie...and BTW, the Townsend guy I was talking about over AIM is Townsend Coleman...famous for playing Michaelangelo in 1987-1996.

[Lady Vulpix]

My first duplicate Lingo plushie and it's Cowabunga?

For this, I'm making a 5-letter puzzle!

[Knight of Time]

Sorry about the duplicate plushie Gabi...I guess this will be the only case of a Lingo plushie being duplicated?

BTW, you know that American game show called Lingo I've mentioned to you before? There's occasional times where people have guessed the word Lingo, and on a couple of those occasions, Lingo has been one of the correct words...it was rare though.

[Lady Vulpix]

Well, lingo is a word.

lingo: 0 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, let's see if I can get a little further with a wacky guess.

[Lady Vulpix]

wacky: 0 right, 0 misplaced, 5 wrong.

I'd say that's definitely getting further.

[Knight of Time]

Let's try ether.

[Lady Vulpix]

ether: 0 right, 0 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

Well, I know this one won't be it, but let's see what the name of a certain hedgehog (aka Sonic) brings for clues here.

[Lady Vulpix]

sonic: 0 right, 0 misplaced, 5 wrong.

Too spiky, I suppose.

[Knight of Time]

Yeah, Sonic is certainly spiky alright.

Anyway, that means that half of the letters in the alphabet aren't in this one...but that does narrow it down nicely.

Let's try plump.

[Lady Vulpix]

plump: 2 right, 0 misplaced, 3 wrong.

Nice progress! 2 letters are right. But which ones are they?

[Knight of Time]

I may not be a bluff, but I wonder how far one can go?

[Lady Vulpix]

Pretty close.

bluff: 4 right, 0 misplaced, 1 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

I think this one must be fluff.

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, it is! Well done!

[Knight of Time]

lol, that must be literally the softest plushie awarded in Lingo, thanks Gabi!

Let's try one with 11 letters, shall we?

[Lady Vulpix]

Alright, let's begin with coruscating.

[Knight of Time]

coruscating: 0 right, 4 misplaced, 7 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

abhominable

[Knight of Time]

abhominable: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 8 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

experienced

[Knight of Time]

experienced: 1 right, 4 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, change of strategy.

experiments

[Knight of Time]

experiments: 2 right, 3 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Hmm... not quite as informative as I had expected.

exterminate

[Knight of Time]

exterminate: 3 right, 3 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

That narrows it down, but I still have more juice to take out of this path... I think.

exteriorate

[Knight of Time]

exteriorate: 4 right, 3 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

And now both paths converge.

electrolyte

[Knight of Time]

When two paths converge, a winner is you, Gabi!

'hands the electrolyte plushie to you'

Go for it.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks!

Let's do a 9-letter puzzle now.

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, let's begin with decathlon.

[Lady Vulpix]

decathlon: 0 right, 4 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

Let's try thumbnail.

[Lady Vulpix]

I like that word.

thumbnail: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

Let's try turnpikes for some comparison.

[Lady Vulpix]

turnpikes: 0 right, 2 misplaced, 7 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

How about shadowing?
