Yeah, I saw it on Drudge this morning and it made me both laugh and feel oddly uncomfortable - but Im not sure why ... on either point. But when I read the title and saw the word skivvies I knew that was WOF Gold so I had to make a game of it! The bonus was because I thought the letter guessing would prolly dig pretty deep into the prize pool.

And bonus bonus :)

Wow, and you got the trifecta completely covered. Now we need to post a link to the this thread over there and see how many other places this story pops up.:blush:

Blessings sent and Congrats.

First time I tried this game, sorta enjoyed it.

Almost want to write a software program that allows me to play it better.

Generate a grid, auto word search for word size & given letters, drop words if letter isn't allowed (I.E. Guessed already & not shown), submit current list of words to a google search & display results in a window :D

Should only take about a week of coding to do that :D

Thanks for the game :)

Thank you and everyone else for playing, it was my pleasure!

Also, I want to give a SPECIAL THANKS to servant of Merciful Love for helping to sponsor WOF. On our next game the prize pool will increase significantly! Thanks again to everyone for playing! I got about an hour left here at work before I head out to get ready for my boy's football game tonight and because of you guys I'm in a great mood!

Leave it to you to do that :doh: ^_^

This was my first time too ;)
I think I guessed a couple times once before on the long game but it moved too slowly for me.
I like the speed game :thumbsup:

I was basically baby-sitting my PC today as I transfered a ton of files from CD & DVD to our RAID and I had lots of free time. Normally I'm much more hands on with other projects. So I thought I'd kill some time with a SPEED version of WOF. If I ever have the extra time like I did today, I'll give it another go. Thanks again all.

Do you generate each graphic by hand / template?

Just got home and wanted to check in here since I have a little time to kill before heading out to the game. But to answer your question, yeah create a master template in Photoshop and edit the letter/tiles separately for each game. I updated the board after the first 9 games and I'll prolly do the same when I hit 20. Keeps it interesting for me and hopefully for you kids playing.

Ok, was just thinking it might be easier to have it generated via a PHP Script

I.E. You "Log in" and set up the current game (or multiple games? )
Enter the Correct Phrase & the Game board Gets generated.
You post a link to the image (www.mygameboard.com/game3.jpg) for example
Then just log in / update the guessed letters & the image is generated / updated automatically.
