That's what I've been doing to last bunch of games. It *seems* more statistically advantageous to me. I have in each one completely taken caution to the winds until after i entered in a-e-r-t-i-o-p-s-l-n-m. At least the e-s-t-a-i-o-n part should almost always be attempted (imo)... the rest one might debatably use d-c-m-h (at the least) instead
Still.. i've only lost one tonight.. and I call myself on being a moron for using v (from the shoutbox: "But i lost for the first time in a good 20 or more !hangman: Sorry Saerules, you ran out of lives! The word was "decadency" <-- I was a moron and used V to guess the middle for "*eca*enc*" instead of doing the end which would have been either y or h")
Edit: just got ""saturnine"!" lol... what is that?
"saturnine |ˈsatərˌnīn|
adjective
(of a person or their manner) slow and gloomy"
And i expected something of the planet ^_^
And here is the second loss from the a-e-r-t-i-o-p-s-l-n-m combination: <DarwinBot>: Sorry Saerules, you ran out of lives! The word was "knockdown".
Umm Saturn IS rather slow and gloomy sae ...I think it takes 28years to complete one orbit around sol.
