Word Guess, Mastermind rules
| 
Jun 10 19:24 UTC 2001 |
Since we're experimenting with word game rules, here's my contribution:
Whoever's It specifies how many letters are in their word. People guess words
of that length, and instead of only giving the number of letters in the
correct position, It also specifies how many letters are correct, but in the
wrong position (as in Mastermind).
For instance, if the word is "seven", then the following words would be scored
as indicated:
blurt 0,0
blind 0,1
stain 2,0
stone 1,2
sieve 1,3
stein 2,1
... and so forth.
Certain rules which should be obvious from the examples:
(1) The first number indicates the letters that are in the correct position
(2) The second number indicates the letters that are in the incorrect position
(3) Letters which are duplicated in the It's word count as many times as they
appear (that is, in the example, a guess would score 1 if it had 1 e, 2 if
it had 2, but only 2 if it had 3 or more... eleve would score 0,3).
Administrative rules:
There can be no more than 5 unanswered guesses.
No person can guess twice consecutively, unless there is 48 hours between the
guesses or it's obvious that nobody else is playing.
No person can guess twice in the same batch of five unanswered guesses, unless
there is 48 hours between guesses, or it's obvious that there are less than
six people (including It) playing.
