Lingo version 19!

[Lady Vulpix]

OK, that helps, but that approach brings slow progress with long words. I'll try exhaustion for comparison. That should give me a bigger clue this time.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

exhaustion: 0 right, 7 misplaced, 3 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Nice! That was quite informative.

I'll try affectious next, because a little affection goes a long way.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

affectious: 0 right, 5 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Would you be able to recognize a mesothorax out of context?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well, that's a new word for me...

mesothorax: 0 right, 5 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

I'll take that as a "no", then.

OK, I've completely run out of words in my list that can fit. Not even Pokemon match, although Chestnaught is pretty close.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

The word IS on your list, Gabi. It's just something unusual, unexpected, that's all I can tell. But doesn't Chestnaught have 11 letters?

[Lady Vulpix]

Huh? It does. That extra letter wasn't there this morning.

This puzzle may seem inexorable, but it will have to yield eventually.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

inexorable: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 7 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Oops! I just realized I made a typo while checking my list and accidentally ruled out the words which had both H and N but no X, C nor F. To think I'm still making those mistakes even though it's like the thousandth time I've played this game.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

¡Felicidades! Congratulations! I haven't calculated how many plushies you exactly have in total, Gabi, and I haven't calculated how many plushies everyone exactly has in total either, but indeed, you won the thousandth plushie!!

[Lady Vulpix]

Kiitos, Mikachu! Apparently, this is my 157th Lingo plushie.

The next puzzle will have 8 letters. Hopefully that'll make it interesting and not annoying.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll gather my audacity and start guessing.

[Lady Vulpix]

audacity: 0 right, 0 misplaced, 8 wrong.

Good start!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I don't know how much clues it will bring, but I'll put in my favourite band Blind Guardian.

[Lady Vulpix]

Guardian: 0 right, 1 misplaced, 7 wrong.

I would say that gives you ten clues.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hmph! Too lazy to make a grid, let's see how my default efficacy works.

[Lady Vulpix]

efficacy: 1 right, 1 misplaced, 6 wrong.

Nice going! Also, thanks for playing.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I have been though British English, so the word favorite looks odd to me.

[Lady Vulpix]

So have I, but now I'm used to both spellings.

favorite: 1 right, 2 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Still trying random words and see how I misplace their letters.

[Lady Vulpix]

Well... You've misplaced one this time. And that's the only letter you got which is in the word! Which one could it be?

misplace: 0 right, 1 misplaced, 7 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

I hope it doesn't take an eternity for anyone to figure this out.

[Lady Vulpix]

I sure hope not! Here's a clue.



eternity: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Knight of Time]

Okay, I think I got a valuable clue here, so I'm gonna go with referrer next.

[Lady Vulpix]

Looks like your clue has referred you to your goal! Congratulations, Kyle! You win a referrer plushie!

[Knight of Time]

Cool, thanks Gabi! That was the only word I could think of after my previous guess, so I'm surprised it helped me more than I had expected.

Okay, let's go into double digits for this one, aka 10 letters this time.

[Lady Vulpix]

I figured you'd pick a long word next. The problem with long words is that they discourage most people from playing.

[Knight of Time]

I'm not intending to discourage anyone from playing. The quicker someone gets this, the better, right?

discourage: 0 right, 4 misplaced, 6 wrong.

[Lady Vulpix]

Well, I know I won't be abandoning this game any time soon, but it would be nice if someone else would play too.

Thank you for coming back, by the way.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I wouldn't let my friends alone... let's see if friendship helps.

[Knight of Time]

abandoning: 1 right, 3 misplaced, 6 wrong.
friendship: 0 right, 5 misplaced, 5 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Let's see what kind of clues will compliment bring.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thank you, Mikachu!

May your friendship bring you many additional rewards.

[Knight of Time]

compliment: 1 right, 3 misplaced, 6 wrong.
additional: 2 right, 4 misplaced, 4 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I'll keep on making continuous guesses.

[Knight of Time]

continuous: 0 right, 3 misplaced, 7 wrong.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I wouldn't describe my progress phenomenal, but let's try that word.

[Knight of Time]

phenomenal: 1 right, 3 misplaced, 6 wrong.
