There was a great set of rules at another forum so I am just going to copy/paste them the only thing I have added is the scoring...
Someone comes up with a word or phrase, and must state a category for it. (The letters are replaced with blanks...)
Like this:
Sport
_ _ _ _ _ _
After this, people may guess letters in that word or phrase, or guess the word entirely. If a correct letter is guessed, that letter is revealed. If an incorrect letter is chosen, it is put at the bottom of the post, as well as an 'x' (Incorrect guesses of the whole word or phrase also results in an x)
Like this:
n
Sport
_ _ n n _ _
OR like this:
b
Sport
_ _ _ _ _ _
b
x
Also, one guess per post. I don't want anybody guessing the whole alphabet in one go. And spaces between words be identified with a ~
After 13 wrong guesses, the game is over.
Scoring:
Each time a person guesses a correct letter they get 1 point per space they fill in.
The person who solves the puzzle gets 10 points
If the person who started the round stumps everyone they are awarded 15 points. Or if they don't stump everyone they just get 1 point per X.
