bonanova Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 There's a simple but sometimes challenging word game that a group can play. Player #1 gives a word - let's say it's read. Player #2 then thinks of a related word, say page, but he keeps it to himself. Player #2 then thinks of a third word, that's related to the 2nd, but not necessarily to the 1st. In fact, it's best if it's not related to the 1st. In this case it could be say boy, and he says it aloud. The object is for the other players to guess the 2nd word. Here are some examples, then I'll give you some to guess: clock - tick - bug. horse - tail - Snow White and the seven dwarfs. [tail sounds like tale] beard - hair - rabbit [again hair sounds like hare] You can see how sound-alikes can add complexity, to the task. Since this is a think-ing person's game, I'm choosing to use think five times with five different third words. You need to guess the five [different] words in between. Have fun. [1] think _ _ _ _ _ _ excuse [2] think _ _ _ _ _ _ marvel [3] think _ _ _ _ grope [4] think _ _ _ _ _ _ _ doubt [5] think _ _ _ _ _ _ _ accept There's a built-in hint - the number of dashes is the number of letters. If you like this puzzle type, feel free to make up your own, around a different theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bonanova Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 A lot of good, creative thinking. But only #2 has been found so far. To some extent, more than one word relates to both the others, but I tried to choose ones that fit well. I'll check back in the morning [new york time]. Gee, I thought [3] would be the first one to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
bonanova
There's a simple but sometimes challenging word game that a group can play.
Player #1 gives a word - let's say it's read. Player #2 then thinks of a related
word, say page, but he keeps it to himself. Player #2 then thinks of a third
word, that's related to the 2nd, but not necessarily to the 1st. In fact, it's best
if it's not related to the 1st. In this case it could be say boy, and he says
it aloud. The object is for the other players to guess the 2nd word.
Here are some examples, then I'll give you some to guess:
clock - tick - bug.
horse - tail - Snow White and the seven dwarfs. [tail sounds like tale]
beard - hair - rabbit [again hair sounds like hare]
You can see how sound-alikes can add complexity, to the task.
Since this is a think-ing person's game, I'm choosing to use think
five times with five different third words.
You need to guess the five [different] words in between.
Have fun.
[1] think _ _ _ _ _ _ excuse
[2] think _ _ _ _ _ _ marvel
[3] think _ _ _ _ grope
[4] think _ _ _ _ _ _ _ doubt
[5] think _ _ _ _ _ _ _ accept
There's a built-in hint - the number of dashes is the number of letters.
If you like this puzzle type, feel free to make up your own, around
a different theme.
