[Game] Lingo Version 18!

[Lady Vulpix]

Ah, nevermind. I must have had the wrong dictionary in my work computer.

I'll make a hazardous guess and hope it doesn't cause any damage.

[Knight of Time]

You got it Gabi! Here's a hazardous plushie for you, just be careful with it; I have no idea what it could contain.

'puts on a protective pair of gloves, tosses you a pair, and hands you the plushie'

Go for it.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! *Places the plushie on the list very carefully.*

8 letters now.

[Knight of Time]

Let's see what a sequence will do here.

[Lady Vulpix]

You know... I had actually thought of picking sequence as the word. But that's not the one I chose today. Good start, though.

sequence: 0 right, 4 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Blademaster]

Disaster.

[Lady Vulpix]

Disaster: 0 right, 2 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

All right, let's see what a quotient does here.

[Blademaster]

There are multiple math terms in this topic now.

[Lady Vulpix]

That's not surprising, since mathematics provide abstractions for just about everything.

quotient: 0 right, 2 misplaced, 6 wrong.
multiple: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 5 wrong.

Use these clues wisely.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I had to go down to the basement to find my first word.

[Lady Vulpix]

Glad you found it. This game was getting lonely.


basement: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is this guess completely boneless?

[Lady Vulpix]

I guess so. Most words don't have bones in them, not to mention that word is "boneless" by definition. But hey, you got a right letter!

boneless: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Now, I'll go with a course I liked most when I studied advanced mathematics in high school: integral functions.

[Lady Vulpix]

Really? Integral as in calculating areas below curves, or as in integer numbers?

Integral: 2 right, 1 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

This kind of stuff.

Let's see what kind of clues will appear by checking the datebook.

[Lady Vulpix]

Ah, the former then. Personally, I enjoyed all the other math topics better.

datebook: 1 right, 0 misplaced, 7 wrong.

That's a big clue if you know how to use it!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Ah, that makes me cheerful.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'm glad to hear that! I hope your new Cheerful Plushie will do the same.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Yes it did, thanks Gabi. Let's do a 12-letter one then, shall we?

[Lady Vulpix]

Cool! As long as the next plushie's not unobtainable, this should be fun.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hm, had it been unobtainable, this round would have ended in one guess. Paradoxical, huh?

unobtainable: 6 right, 2 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes. And yet it woudn't have been as fun as having to make some deductions.

Now, that result was closer than I expected, but that doesn't give me a good base to start my inference process, so let's try to discard some letters.

My next guess is taratantaras which are apparently the sounds of bungles and trumpets.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

That's a funny word you got there.

taratantaras: 3 right, 2 misplaced, 7 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

I see... Victory is not unachievable, but apparently it won't be easy either.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

unachievable: 6 right, 2 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

I seem to have made a lucky guess. I wonder if such an event is unrepeatable.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well, at least the word we are looking for is! Well done, Gabi! Your turn.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! I was lucky to hit the right prefix and suffix on my first guess.

9 letters now.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Let's start with something everything starts from, a beginning.

[Lady Vulpix]

A very good place to start.

beginning: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 7 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Would a declaimer be suitable here?

[Lady Vulpix]

Suitable for finding clues, certainly.

declaimer: 1 right, 3 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

To us TPMers, are you the same as a werowance is to Powhatan Indians?

[Lady Vulpix]

Am I? I don't really do much leading here, do I?

Werowance: 0 right, 4 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Blademaster]

Breakfast. Again.

Because variety is overrated.

[Lady Vulpix]

Breakfast: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 7 wrong.

May you eat the same breakfast everyday for the rest of your life (or at least until you learn to appreciate variety).

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

This is an excellent game.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'm glad you think so!

Now you can have an Excellent Plushie to go with it!
