Thanks for the info

pharos refers the the lighthouse of Alexandria, not the monarch. Your hangman is looking for "Places All over the World".

Advantage to the French speaker, in French a lighthouse is "phare".

Should be - Attending a private event. Yup!

Should be Prairie and chili dog (not prarie) Yup!

I think poppy seed should be poppyseed ? Yup!

HUMENTASHEN should be HAMENTASHEN Yup!

And, for the record, Smooshed or Smushed is indeed US slang, but quite descriptive ➡️😃LOL😄⬅️

I'm having it removed. It should be co-writer which doesn't fit itn tne one -word parameter of Hangman

Posted by marcmandy on 1 Jun 2025 at 9:55AM

It ain't over till the fat lady sings can be considered a bit of slang. Technically it should be 'til as in until, but usage has it as both.

Otoh is dictionary.com an acceptable dictionary? I'd prefer to stick to established dictionaries.

According to Dictionary.com, "till" is acceptable.............

Posted by bestgremlin on 26 May 2025 at 12:43PM
In #14761608,
"IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS"

Shouldn't that be: 'TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS ?

Till is a cash register or cash drawer.
'til is the proper short form of Until.

I would hyphenate it co-writer, but dictionary says it's fine https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cowriter
(#5688793) Is this a legitimate word?
Posted by rabbitoid on 24 May 2025 at 4:18AM
#14751479: COWRITER. It's fairly clear what it means, but really, a word?
If you google it you're directed to several AI's which do exactly what you think they do. But having sites that carry the word doesn't make it an English word.
Note: This post was not written by an AI, lol.

It is rather interesting especially for someone who doesn't speak American; I've never heard of it before so looked up the meaning & discovered that every definition I found online is American. Presumably it is on the list of American words & not on the International list.

The Kickback Thematic Hangman Competition in The Wolf Pack - Spring Tournament

A thought. It could be that the tournament was created a long time ago before this problem was solved, and set to start 29 March 2025. The bug correction would not have worked in this case. Can you ask the Wolf Pack tournament creator when this tournament was created?

Posted by rabbitoid on 17 Apr 2025 at 10:39PM
Yes, unfortunately. It seems that a bug from the past, believed solved, hit again. By default the games of the hangman family are set up with 6 points, except for diceman whose default is 100. Normally it should not be possible to create a tournament for Kickback Thematic Hangman with 100 points. I'll put it on the bug board.

Posted by precious on 17 Apr 2025 at 4:40PM
I have a question: I am playing a Kickback Thematic Hangman game Says players need 100 points to win the game. Does it mean one has to be the first to solve 100 puzzles? like in trhe 6 point games.
Where do I go to see what the progressive scores are after each puzzle is solved?
Hope someone can let me know
thanking you in advance

There is a typo in one of the hangman games. It says "Let You hair down". Should be :let YOUR hair down".

Ref. #14577338 answer "HANS AND CHEWBACCA"

The Star Wars character is named HAN SOLO, not Hans.
