S, although plurals (well, with S at least) aren't allowed in Hangman.

In fact, K.

Who says plurals aren't allowed? (and it would help if you un-bolded one of your guesses)

It's standard Hangman practice. It's just to stop people having illegal four-letter (or whatever is one below your minimum number of letter allowed) words with an S on the end so that they qualify.



I struck out my S too! Admittedly it doesn't look very good because it's only one letter, but still - I did it.

I think plurals should be allowed.

And all other forms such as present tense third person singular forms that end with an S. In fact, all standard words of the standard English language must be allowed.

What's the point of having a word limit then? Or would you rather we scrapped that too?

I don't know. Perhaps we should try.

Anyway, word limit and plurals aren't linked. And whoever gives a plural form concedes one guess from the beginning (someone always guesses S).

But confronted with _ A _ E S, how many different variations of letters can you think of to fit? It would be far too easy for the unscrupulous player to change the word when so many things can fit. Not that I'm suggesting anyone here is unscrupulous, but it ought to be a level playing-field.

Well word changing is irrelevant - the game functions on trust. However, I agree with Duke's points on plurals generally.

Too many rules can ruin a game. This game is more fun than competitive. Explain to me: Why no to plurals and yes to gerunds or past participles?

You can't have those, they are plurals.

This is why I suggested that rule 7 should read:

7. Incorrect word guesses don't count as losing a life.

I still consider it a better solution than limiting the scope of eligible words.

Because if you guess the word wrong, you are out of contention for that word.

Put an end to popups!

Ljube that's not a good suggestion, and certainly not as a response to the fact that certain groups of letters have lots of words that fit them. It's a good strategy to pick such words, and usually in doing so you give up the chance to pick words with nasty letters in them.

The word here can still be singular though:

OK, I'll agree to that, if you agree to allow plurals.
