Edit: Oh, and to apologize for dictionary usage, if my current word wins, I'll give up my point, though I'd still like to get to do the next word.

So, You have to wait with word guesses to the new round as well, it counts the same as letter guess?

why invalid ?

I believe you can guess the word at anytime

only if you mistake the word then you are out until the next round

To guess after 2 guesses have already occurred is in direct violation of the rule number 3.

Guessing the word and guessing individual letters are entirely separate. Sorry if the rules don't make that clear enough.

Why, what do you think the word is?

as point 6 states, the word can be guessed at any time.

indeed this issue was looked into and discussed at some length many threads ago

so if the word is correct it is onto Duke...

if not then we need to get thinking as to what this little nutcracker could be

	Re: Hangman XII: The Forum Game Inflate your Upload Space

I suggest a modification to the rules to avoid ambiguities of this kind.



Rules

• 1. A maximum of 9 incorrect guesses.
  
• 2. Updates must be posted within 24 hours of each other, and will occur in sets of 2, except for the final 2 guesses, which will be updated individually. An update must also occur after each word guess.
  
• 3. Any guesses after 2 have occurred since the last update will be ignored, including word guesses.
  
• 4. You can only pick one letter for every two consecutive sets of guesses.
  
• 5. Guesses cannot be changed after being posted.
  
• 6. You can guess the word at any time, but guessing incorrectly eliminates you from play.
  
• 7. Incorrect word guesses also count as losing a life.
  
• 8. Words must be 5 or more letters.
  
• 9. Words must be standard English, and cannot be proper nouns.

How about :


Rules

• 1. A maximum of 9 incorrect guesses.
  
• 2. Updates must be posted within 24 hours of each other, and will occur in sets of 2, except for the final 2 guesses, which will be updated individually. An update must also occur after each word guess.
  
• 3. Any letters guessed after the first two, and before an update, will be ignored, and will not carry over to the next set of guesses.
  
• 4. You can only pick one letter for every two consecutive sets of guesses.
  
• 5. Guesses cannot be changed after being posted.
  
• 6. You can guess the word at any time, but guessing incorrectly eliminates you from play.
  
• 7. Incorrect word guesses also count as losing a life.
  
• 8. Words must be 5 or more letters.
  
• 9. Words must be standard English, and cannot be proper nouns.
  

I think that this is much closer to the spirit of the original rules. We can ask Joncha for a ruling later on though.

Your guess isn't valid either, because you guessed in the last round. You have to wait for another update before you can guess again Heresson.
