  1. Fiiine, you win :p Sorry for going off on you, I was not aware that PST (or any zone) became something different for summer, I guess I just thought that PST changed over the year. And yes, there are other us non mainland times, and Hawaii doesn't do savings time so it flips between 2 and 3 hours earlier than west coast.

    Okay okay, enough of this time zone stuff, we have a game to play.

    We have not one but TWO new correct letters! :D


    Code:
     S _ _ S T R E A _ 
    Guessed letters: A, R, E, S, T - O, I, B, Y


    We're getting close!

  2. Funny enough, this would still fit with all the correct letters, just not with the incorrect guesses :D

    I'm starting to wonder if I made this too obscure :p


    Also, the order that the correct letters were guessed spells 'Arrest' (with am extra R) haha

  3. sunstream? Although I don't think it's a actual word:confused:
  4. 1) No, no, you weren't going off on me, it was just a regular conversation. :) Indeed, instead of changing the "definition" of the timezone, most countries change to a different timezone altogether: for Western Europe it's CET in the winter, and CEST in the summer, for (amongst others) Great Britain it's GMT in the winter, BST in the winter, and for you, it's PST in the winter, and PTD (odd name: Pacific Daylight Time) the summer. :) I didn't know Hawaii doesn't have a summertime, interesting! :)

    2) :D I think I might know it, how about "substream"? :)

  5. Cant be this word as B has already been played and is not a letter in this word.

    Edit: I’ll go with Sunstreak the band!!

  6. Whoops I suck. :D I actually thought I checked it, but forgot to check the B, apparently. :p

  7. Funny how there are so many options :p

    Code:
     S U N S T R E A K 
    You got it! :D I didn't know that this was the name of a band until I was looking up the word for this game. What I was originally going for is one of the new (and cooler sounding imo) fish names in 1.13.



    The top left fish is a Sunstreak, as well as two of the ones on the bottom row

    top: White SunStreak, Red-White Kob, Yellow Striped fish, White-Gray Dasher
    second row: Teal-Rose Dasher, Lime-Sky Brinely, Red-White Betty, Gray-Red Snooper, Red-White Blockfish, White-Yellow Flopper
    third row: Rose-Sky Spotty, Plum-Yellow Blockfish, White-Red Clayfish, White-Yellow Spotty, White-Gray Glitter, White-Orange Clayfish
    bottom: Orange-Gray Stripey, Gray Flopper, Gray-Sky SunStreak, White-Gray Brinely, Blue-Gray SunStreak, Orange-White Kob

    So congratulations AncientTower! I'll figure out everyone's rewards later when I'm on my computer, I've managed to do all this from my phone :p
  8. Hm. I can't find that word on Wiktionary nor in Chamber's Twentieth Century Dictionary. That's an issue.
    And it did seem like many people did not know this word.
    I won't disqualify you just yet, as you might just not have understood the purpose of the game, as a host. In that case, I will have to clarify it in the OP. I originally didn't, as I wasn't intending other people to be hosting the game.

  9. Well I mean, people did get to it though, and it is a word in the new Minecraft, the game that's brought us together here. I feel like it being obscure to a realm that we'd be familiar with just makes it a challenge, and that way you can't cheat with solver algorithms :p

  10. I can see what you mean, and would be fine with it if it'd be your game. But it's mine. ;)

    Anyway:
    Code:
    _ _ _ _ _ _

  17. I’d like to guess a letter and the word at the same time. I’ll take letter F and call this Fishes !!!
    luckycordel, 607 and Starsphere like this.
  18. That's against the rules, you can't do your letter and word guess at the same time.
    So you'll get to keep your word guess for later use, as there's no 'F' in the word. ;)
