unreality Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 correct whoo that took quite a bit of logicking but I think i understand the game now haha. It reminds me of something my 10th grade math teacher possibly invented called Rollo. It's basically the same thing except the words are always 5 letters and it's only Xs not Os (thus making it pure logic with less guesswork maybe, only needing the lingustic intuition for finding words to fit the pattern you want to test), but instead of the x/o terminology after a word is guessed, a number is placed after it signifying the number of "correct" letters (letters in the right spot). When a letter is logically known for sure it's written above the underscore, only for the class's benefit though in further guessing. The class works together (competing against other classes) to guess the word in the fewest number of testwords. For example, if the word is ABYSS: _ _ _ _ _ SPARK - 0 STARS - 1 now we changed two things (hmm.. is it a better strategy to change one thing each time or to change 2+ things at a time and only zero in if the number goes above 0? remember you want to minimize guesses). So we have to find out which one it is ----- SPARK 0 STARS 1 STARK 0 ok we know the last letter is S _ _ _ _ S SPARK 0 etc etc etc It's a fun game. Very similar. Anyway i'm thinking of starting a Rollo topic but if anybody has a Masterword word go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glycereine Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I would like to propose we go back to the original intent of only a few words per person when guessing. Otherwise you can end the game extremely fast with alot less thought needed. Just a suggestion though, maybe 5 words max per person between updates from the current host?

I'd agree to this. 26 guesses for a 5 letter word before getting any feedback is a bit excessive I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreality Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 maybe we should throw in the rollo twist, ask words one at a time and thus try to get it in as few words as possible (ie points are bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I think solving it by doing words one at the time would be more impressive anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
