Re: Hangman (0)
I know you are being pedantic, but it doesn't make you less correct.
Well, all hangman games eventually end up guessing all the vowels, showing all the vowels, then showing "etaoin shrdlu", then guessing all 26 letters at once.
It is because it's efficient. And it works for single player games, or for children under 10.
But it's not really a forum game for a puzzle game forum if the first or the second easy guesses is going to be correct, right? It's definitely not worth 2 points for guessing it correctly.
That's why many of the hangman variations have penalties on vowels.
For fun I'd suggest this alternative: multiple vowel guesses is alllowed, but for any wrong vowel guess you get a -1.
PS. We can still have other forum games for children here though, like "guess the sum of two numbers under 10", or something really easy. But only one mod point, please.
