[NEW] Guess the Word Game

[rev_65]

Mmmm... sounds like fun and an excuse to write a bit more. Will give it a whack!

Me too! That's a relief considering I had to clean up the guy's code to install it. I was a little worried that it wouldn't work. On with the fun!

Post on! Of... course... post good stuff.

I think I got it. At least I typed in another guess and the word just stayed, rather than changing to incorrect answer.

I guess I'll have to see if the points show up!

Edit: I don't see an additional 500 points yet. Is that a manual process?

Hmmm.... I thought it would tell everyone that you guessed it first. I went back to vb.org and the guy pulled the hack, so I don't know. I had explained to him the complications of installing it and how to fix it and I guess he felt it wasn't ready for prime-time. That make us the only VB board with the hack!

Anyway, what was your guess? And yes, at this time the points are a manual process. I'll look at his code and see if I can modify it to do what we want.

For now the first person who guesses the word will have to post it here and I'll award the points.

In the event that Joel didn't get it, here's a list of every eight-letter word in the English dictionary...

My final guess was (ta da) Teamwork

You got it! TEAMWORK Okay, I'll reset the word. For now the first one to report the word here will win. I'll hack the hack next week or the next time I can't sleep.

From now on only one word per day. I'll make the next one harder.

Well, ....I had 4 letters when I guessed (the only advantage to getting up at 0-dark-thirty to go to work).

I see a new one up now, is that for tomorrow?

No, it's for today. We'll call the first one a test run.

Thanks man, I just wanted to know so I didn't do anything wrong

I know what you're doing.... stop posting to get letters!
