[Game] Lingo Version 17!

[Shadow Wolf]

It may not be the right move, but I hope to gian some clues by visiting a facility.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks for posting, Louis! This game needs players.

facility: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, if it needs more players, then I'll ad myself to the equation of the total of gamers currently playing.

[Lady Vulpix]

Yay! And as a reward, you get an Equation plushie and the chance to host the next round.

[Shadow Wolf]

Thanks Gabi!

Well, let's get to a puzzle with less letters but with the same (if not greater) challenge. 5 letters for this one.

[Knight of Time]

Hmm, I think I need a bit more practice to get as good as everyone else in this game since my logic skills on this one seem to be at the "slow and steady" level.

[Shadow Wolf]

Actually, I think your skills are pretty good here. If I can give a tip, it can be said in one word: linking. I usually put all the words guessed in a word document and try to find out the possible common letters between them. By linking common letters in the words guessed, one can deduce possible words. Hope this helps a bit

logic: 0 right, 2 misplaced, 3 wrong.

level: 0 right, 1 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

If you would like to talk, I could give you a few tips. I'm stealing a word from your post, by the way: level.

[Lady Vulpix]

Nice!

Let's keep this game aflow.

Edit: and my strategy's quite different. I work mostly with the numbers I get from each word, comparing the differences to discard possibilities, and occasionally figuring out one or more letters that must be there, like the T back in autograph.

[Shadow Wolf]

Can you keep the flow going?

aflow: 0 right, 2 misplaced, 3 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

So it would seem.

Let's try black now. They say it goes well with everything.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, it seems to match woth some words, I think...

black: 0 right, 2 misplaced, 3 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Woth?

OK, I'll try block to get a relevant result, since all the clues have been helpful so far.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well, I'm sure this one ain't a writer's block.

block: 0 right, 2 misplaced, 3 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Interesting. There used to be an ocean of possibilities, but now it's more like a lagoon.

[Shadow Wolf]

Are you sure about that? I think that the answer is as clear as either one of them. Congrats Gabi!!

*hands over the ocean plushie*

Well, it no literal ocean (holding water to display an ocean inside a plushie can be quite a challenge), but it's still a plushie.

Anyways, your move!

[Lady Vulpix]

Thanks! And we've had weirder plushies. Like Knowledge, Redundant, Solution, Neither, Ethics, Suffix, Nothing...

But we haven't had this 7-letter one yet.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hehe, yeah, and also awkward plushies (like marijuana).

[Lady Vulpix]

That's true.


awkward: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm, I'll copy/paste a word from you post: weirder

[Lady Vulpix]

XD Well done, Louis! That was a smart move indeed.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hahaha, I thought of getting more clues, but to get a weirder plushie, lol

Anyway, here's a nine letter puzzle which promises interesting.

[Lady Vulpix]

It's not a werider plushie, although perhaps that would be weirder because of the typo.

OK, I think education is usually a good start.

[Shadow Wolf]

Hahahaha, great start for me. I better check to see if I typo'd it in the gallery.

education: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Interesting. And now for something completely different: aardvarks.

[Shadow Wolf]

That word sounds just like my last plushie lol.

aardvarks: 0 right, 2 misplaced, 7 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Weirder than what?

The question has bedazzled me.

[Shadow Wolf]

Weirder that my weirder plushie XD


bedazzled: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Pero son simples osos hormigueros.

Perhaps a classmate can help me discard more options? Except that right now I only have classmates in my Chinese course and I doubt they'd be interested. I'll have to make do with just the word.

[Shadow Wolf]

I think it may help a bit.

classmate: 2 right, 1 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

In the future, maybe. After comparing it with classiest.

[Shadow Wolf]

That reminds me of Shonta.

classiest: 2 right, 2 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Me too.

OK, let's see if classical helps a bit.

[Shadow Wolf]

I'd say even the oldest (classic) advices are useful at any time.

classical: 2 right, 1 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

OK... If I use this post for cross-reference, is this a crosspost?

[Shadow Wolf]

Hmm, I don't think so, but this one seems to clear a way.

crosspost: 1 right, 0 misplaced, 8 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow... it does!

And why is the word "Mightyena" in my dictionary? In any case, I'm not guessing that. I'm guessing... fragilely.

[Shadow Wolf]

Pokemon is officially in the dictionary... wow! 8D

fragilely: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

Let's try clinching.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'm confused, so I'll guess titillant and see if it gives me any clues.
