Hangsquid!

[Cuttleshock]

Ooh... hm. I've an idea, but I won't necessarily pursue it because if it's not that, then I'd love to use it for my next word.

R (which may or may not be in the word I'm thinking of, but it's just pretty common).

 

[Ikaheishi]

Is there an S?

 

[Anaru]

Oh no! Those are both right. This'll end quick.

s _ r _

A E く—

 

[Dual]

Oh no! Those are both right. This'll end quick.

s _ r _

A E く—

Sort?

 

[Cuttleshock]

Failing that, I'll ask for a U. If there is a U, I extend my guess to 'surd'. If there's no U, ignore the latter part of this message.

 

[Anaru]

Don't guess that quickly, Dual! And no U. And how did you have an idea of what it was with only knowing that it doesn't have 'a' or 'e'?

s _ r _

A E U (sort) くコ

 

[SyMag]

I mean there was only a certain number of words it could be at that point. But it was "sort?"

 

[Anaru]

No, I put it with the wrong letters because the guess was incorrect.

 

[SyMag]

...Huh. Is there an I then?

WAIT I TAKE IT BACK. The word is "spry" isn't it?!

 

[Anaru]

That's a good word for this! But it's incorrect.

s _ r _

A E U (sort) (spry) くコ·

 

[Dual]

Is it shri?

 

[Anaru]

Still no, thanks everyone for guessing crazy words and creating a bunch of penalties.

s _ r _

A E U (sort) (spry) (shri) くコ:

 

[SyMag]

You're welcome.

I'll guess L now

 

[Anaru]

Still no! I might actually win now, although I still doubt I will! 3 guesses after this!

s _ r _

A E L U (sort) (spry) (shri) くコ:ー

 

[Dual]

An I please.

 

[Anaru]

Nah!

s _ r _

A E I L U (sort) (spry) (shri) くコ:二

 

[Dual]

An O then?

 

[Cuttleshock]

Haha, what a mess!

 

[SyMag]

Is this even a word in the English language?

 

[Cuttleshock]

I just mentally checked a bunch of possibilities and I can't come up with anything... OH! Unless!

I bet it's scry.​

Anaru, if Dual is wrong (there's no O), then I guess Y. If Dual is correct, I guess nothing.
