Trumble 03/28/24 12:42:47 AM #1: |
So, usual disclaimers first. Game is given as a Humble gift link which gives a Steam key; you need a Steam account but you don't need a Humble account. The game is a mystery until someone wins. If you already have it (or don't want it) you can do whatever you like with it.
For this one, we're going to play a (sort of) game of Zendo. The game revolves around whether words fit a set of secret rules that I've come up with. Ultimately, the goal is to figure out what these rules are. In order to do so, you may nominate words and I will reveal whether or not they fit the rules. Each round, you may either nominate up to three words, or make one guess at the rules. Exception; no guesses at the rules can be made during the first round. The round ends when I make a post answering the status of nominated words / guesses at the rules, and then the new round begins right away. (If anyone posts while I'm writing up said post, I'll edit it to include the affected post.) You do not have to guess the exact wording of the rules, as long as your guess is functionally equivalent. (For example, if I had two rules "the word must start and end with the same letter" and "the word must end with a vowel", it would be acceptable if someone's guess was "the word must start and end with a vowel".) If a guess is incorrect, I will give a counterexample word - this may either be a word that fits the guessed rules but doesn't fit the actual rules; or a word that fits the actual rules but doesn't fit the guessed rules. Also, to be clear, there is no requirement that the "words" you nominate be actual English words. They can be nonsense strings of letters if you like. Letters only, though. There's also no rule against cooperating to try and figure it out if you like, but ultimately the prize goes to the first person to post the correct guess at the rules. To start you off with, here are some words that do and don't fit: Fit --- CALIFORNIA FREEZING POOPIE ROTATION Don't fit --------- BATTLE CHEESE GAMEFAQS URANUS --- Do, or do not.

--- CALIFORNIA FREEZING JOURNAL POOPIE ROTATION ROTATIONS SENSUOUS Don't fit --------- ARIZONA BATTLE CHEESE COLD CONDEMNATION DEXTERITY DODGE GAMEFAQS HELPING I NOMINATE SAFETY SPINNER SQUALL SYMBIOTIC URANUS WEATHER WEST WIND A tip: Try thinking of possible rules and seeing if there are any counterexamples. For example, you could consider if "must have an even number of letters" is a rule. You'd then want to see if any words with odd numbers of letters fit - if yes, then that can't be a rule. Even-lettered words not fitting could just be because the specific words don't fit another one of the rules, so you can't put so much weight on that. --- Do, or do not. There is no Trumble. ...

These are my 3 guesses:
Rotational Free Ecuador texanfan27 posted... Likely guesses for rules are. This is not a guess, just theory craftingBegins with a consonant is a great guess! I don't think it has to do with syllables thought, since we have Freeze (1) and California (4) both fitting, and Cold (1) and Condemnation (4) not working EDIT: Doesn't have to begin with a consonant ._. These rules must be very lax, since we're getting so many words that fit despite it being filtered through 5 rules lol. I'm not sure if that's helpful though --- in a constant state of confusion ...
