Welcome to Season 2 of Word Guessing (actually season 3 but who cares)
So, here are the rules.
I will think of a word, then tell how many letters it has. For example,
5 letters
_ _ _ _ _
Then, the next person guesses a word. Say my word is “glove” and the second person guesses “green”. The “g” is in the correct position, so I put
G _ _ _ _
Then if the next guess is “grove”, I put this,
G _ O V E
And if the next guess is “glove”, then that guesser wins, gets a point, The person who thought of the word got a point, and the guesses gets the option to play or pass.
First to 20 points (could be changed later) will win this season
Okay, first word
5 letters
_ _ _ _ _

Re: WORD GUESSING II: THE GUESSENING
In my opinion, playing for points can be both good and bad. it makes it more complicated, but it also provides a finite end to the game. Not sure why the word provider gets a point. Or do they get a point per guess?
I get why the person who guessed the correct word gets a point.
It may be better to hash out these details before we dive into it.

Re: WORD GUESSING II: THE GUESSENING
I give the word provider a point so somebody doesn’t keep passing to get another point, and nobody would want to provide the word, but I can change that.
A point per guess would make the 20 point goal too easy, and word providers would easily overpower guessers. Maybe a quarter of a point then it rounds.
I put a finite end so we will have an eventual winner, in my opinion it’s much more exciting then just playing without keeping score.

Re: WORD GUESSING II: THE GUESSENING
As it stands, it would be more complicated than fun. We have had that happen in here before with certain guessing games. The easiest way to make a word guessing game finite is just to maintain the "hangman" format.

Re: WORD GUESSING II: THE GUESSENING
Okay, let’s just do one point for the person that guesses the word correctly. No other points.
Is that good?
