Score one for the Aged Turtle Wizard. Congrats!

[Elendil's Heir]

Never heard of it - good to know!: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apotropaic_magic

Nicely done, Clothahump.

[Clothahump]

Hey - magic, wizard.....what can I say? Should have had it first time, but I was having a senior moment.

I'll go ahead and put up a word, but I am giving everyone advanced notice that I will be off the air from 06/21 through 06/27. I'm sure someone will get it before then, but if not, there will be an unavoidable delay in the game.

Having said that, my word has 8 letters. Go for it!

Clue time.

If I recall correctly, the original MasterMind game told you if you got a letter that was in the word, but was in the wrong place. We've had at least one of those letters used, so as a clue, I'll find the first guess that used it and put the letter in the place where it occured in the guess, but in lower case instead of upper to show it's in the wrong place. Probably should have been doing this all along.

Well, thanks for the clue, but I'd rather we play by the original rules. Just my two cents' worth.

Okay. I'll leave that one clue in place but not post any more. And you hit another letter!
