This is the 7-letter word game. It works like this: One person is "it".
That person thinks of a seven-letter word. It must be a real, English word,
which can be found in some dictionary.
Other players try to guess the word, and their guesses must also be real,
English words. The person who is "it" scores the guesses according to how
many letters in the guess match those in the word he's thinking of. So for
instance, if the word is "privacy", then the scoring might go like this:
waffles 0 (no letters in common with privacy)
splashy 1 (both splashy and privacy have y as the 7th letter)
spinach 3 (spinach and privacy match in 3 places)
etc. The game continues until someone guesses a word, and then that person
becomes "it", and the whole thing starts over again.
Complete rules are in ~rcurl/letter.match . They were written for the 5-
letter version of the game, but you can figure it out. It's customary for
the person who's "it" to store a list of all the current guesses in a file
called letter.match7 in his or her home directory. So for instance if kentn
is "it", the guesses so far will be in ~kentn/letter.match7 . Some people
also display all guesses so far when they score a new guess.
860 responses total.

Yes, thanks. I typed the word into MS-Word to see if it would "bark" with the red squiggly underline indicating "misspelled", and when it didn't, I just typed in the misspelling (how lazy). I now see that the reason that MS-Word didn't bark is because it auto-corrected my entry, and so fast and subtley that I didn't even notice. nemesis

Yeah, I've done software development support. :( I didn't change the program, before or after. However, I just reproduced the problem, I think: I exceeded my disk quota.

More than 10 years - I've been playing since early '94, and they had been going for a while before that.

No, lead is the technical name for lead. Plumbum is the Latin name for lead.
I'm just quoting the dictionary, Rane, as you are so fond of doing yourself. http://www.onelook.com/?w=plumbum&ls=a
I'm not saying that "plumbum" doesn't appear in English dictionaries - many obsolete terms do. I was just observing that plumbum is, *technically*, i.e. at this time, not the technical name for lead. Thought someone might want to know.... 8^}
Well, I'm glad to hear you don't think dictionaries are infallable. :)
I was kind of surprised to see plumbum as the technical name for lead, too, but languages change over time, but our dictionaries change slowly (it's still interesting that it would have been the technical name way back). Okay, I'll try to have a new word in time next time I'm logged in.
That's why the symbol for lead is Pb. :)
True. However the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) decides questions of chemical nomenclature, and they chose the Anglo-Saxon names for a lot of elements whose symbols derive from their Latin names (Kalium, Natrium, Stannum, etc). There is a simple intro to this at http://tinyurl.com/9s586

I was procrastinating today, so here's a proof that scroggy is correct:

score(springs) = 3, score(springy) = 4
==> score(spring-) = 3, score(------y) = 1
score(asshole) = 0 ==> score(a------) = 0
score(plumbum) = 0 ==> score(----b--) = 0
1 = score(cutaway) = score(cutawa-) + score(------y) = score(cutawa-) + 1
==> score(cutawa-) = 0 ==> score(-----a-) = 0
score(element) = 0 ==> score(------t) = 0
So score(a---bat) = 0. But score(acrobat) = 3, so
score(-cro---) = 3.
score(-cro---) = 3 ==> score(-hin---) = 0
score(cuticle) = 0 ==> score(-----le) = 0
So score(-hin-le) = 0. But score(shingle) = 2, so score(s---g--) = 2.
So we have score(scrog-y) = 6. But
4 = score(springy) = score(s-r---y) + score(-p-in--) + score(-----g-)
= 3 + 0 + score(-----g-)
so score(-----g-) = 1. Therefore score(scroggy) = 7.

Sorry I couldn't come up with a better word. You're up, Kent!
Okay, I'll try to have new word in mind next time I'm on. BTW, you got past 12 guesses, so that's pretty good. I think once or twice in these games, someone guessed the word on the first guess.
In the case of the one guess game, though, one can never be sure if the word holder just decided to give the word away to the first guesser.
There is a finite probability of the first guess be right, so it would be strange if it *didn't* happen.
Well, there's a finite positive probability that all the particles in my body will simultaneously disappear and reappear one foot to my right. But it is very unlikely to happen in my lifetime.
Seriously, though. One can't be sure that the player just gave the word away to the first contestant, in the case of the one word guess.
It was Tom Paine that asked his readers to consider the relative probability of a miracle occurring or someone telling a lie.
Sounds painful.
We've been playing these word guess games for a long time now, so unless someone on grex decided to rig the game by giving the word away, we've had plenty of games and guesses in which to see all kinds of guesses and number of letters correct. Also, when we first started, the words tended to be simpler, since we were emulating Rane's car-based version where players need to remember the previous guesses.

i guess that should be "blazons". Anyway. The coat of arms deal.
Either spelling is valid, though "blazons" is much more common. Which would you like scored?

Hmmm - well, I knew that the l was right, and either the b or e. Guessing it was the e, there were necessarily two from -hi-f-- and one from -huba--. ibf isn't a likely combination, so that meant the h was right, annd either the i or the f. -hi--le made me think of thimble, which wasn't a perfect guess since the m had to be wrong and either the b or the e had to be wrong. But, it worked out. OK, I'm thinking of a 7-letter word that's not thistle 0 (lastword)
