#Microblog Monday 369: Another Good Game

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

*******

If you liked last week’s word game, you may also like this one.

Every day, you guess a word. The computer tells you whether your word comes before or after the word of the day. For instance, you may guess “milk,” and if the word is higher in the alphabet than “milk,” it will put the word above the blank box. And if the word is lower than “milk,” it will put the word below the blank box.

Then you guess another word and another word. I know it sounds like it will take a million years to guess the word, but it usually takes me about 6 minutes and between 15 – 20 guesses. Which is kind of cool when you think about how you can zero in on the correct word pretty quickly just knowing that it’s before or after a certain word.

Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts that are connected to businesses or are sponsored post.

Thanks for the game recommendation. I just played and got the answer in 16 guesses and look forward to playing again.

That game sounds interesting! I would think it would take forever, impressive that you can do it so quickly. No hints about word length? I have to try it.

You got it! 🎉🎉🎉
(17 guesses in 4m 45s)

WHAT? okay, I really like how that works, I thought it would be more frustrating than that. I also learned my alphabetizing isn’t always amazing… 😉

Yay, another new game! Thanks, Mel. I’ve done the first, and now I’m trying the hard word. Though that is harder – hence I’ve come back to comment!

That one’s fun too! I got the hard word in 17 guesses and under 2 minutes.
