>>>>>a five-letter word, like this:
>>>>>
>>>>>[font=Courier New]L _ _ _ _[/font]
>>>>>
>>>>>You'll have 24 hours to S-P-E-L-L your guess for

>>>>>[font=Courier New]
>>>>>[COLOR=red]L[/COLOR] [COLOR=green]O[/COLOR]
>>>>>[COLOR=red]N[/COLOR] E R
>>>>>L _ N _ _
>>>>>[/font]

>>>>>The red letters are in their correct places. The

>>>>>If you get the word, you earn a point and the right

>>>>>PENALTIES: You will lose your turn and your
>>>opponents
>>>>>will get the next letter in the word if A) you run
>>>out
>>>>>of time guessing a word, B) you don't get the word
>>>>>within 5 guesses, or C) you guess a word that isn't
>>>>>legal (see below).

>>>>>LEGAL WORDS: Any five-letter word that's in the

>>>>>BONUS ROUND: Your aim here is to guess enough
