[StrangerCoug]

Hmm... Challenging word.

[biancospino]

I do have an idea, but I've already attempted two guesses so idk if it would be appropriate

[StrangerCoug]

Go for it. I'm stuck

[RH9]

Is it

Evoke

?

[RH9]

Sorry bianco.

[RH9]

Actually, is it

EVOLVE

?
(I forgot it's 6 letters.)

[Farren]

Is it

Evoke

?

If a guesser guesses a word that does not meet the criteria above for a valid word, starts with the wrong letter,

or is the wrong length

or if the word-chooser catches the guesser editing the word,

the entire word will be colored red and that guesser will be disqualified until the next word

.

[Farren]

I'll leave it to StrangerCoug to decide if that ends the round or if one more guess is allowed.

[StrangerCoug]

The intended interpretation of the rule is that, since that was the only guess left, that ends the round.

[Farren]

EVOLVE

was the correct answer. I'll let whoever wants it take it next, though. RH9 can claim a moral victory or not as he sees fit.

[Gamma Emerald]

[StrangerCoug]

I'm at work and have a meeting shortly, but I did want to clarify that, since it will be "the next word" when the new word is posted, RH9 will be eligible to guess at it (unless he's the one to pick it, of course).
