Oops, yeah, I forgot to add the points for yours and Rosalyn's guesses there. Check my latest post for the updated scores.

And about the -5 points rule, I'm not sure I was entirely clear: it only applies in situations where the codemaker messes up in such a way that they provide incorrect information about the secret word, leading codebreakers down the wrong path (as Xedron did before with "AXIS"). So for example if someone guesses a word with an A, and you mark it mistakenly as a +0, that would lose you 5 points because now we all think the word doesn't have an A in it.

If you give the guessed word the correct number of points, but forget to add the points to the person's overall score, that can be easily fixed and it doesn't give them a strategic disadvantage in guessing.

That being said I gave myself the -5 anyway so it doesn't look like I'm trying to weasel my way out of losing points. But going forward, I wouldn't normally give -5 in this case.

Anyway, back to the guess... SEAT

I edited my post too so that it will show the good scores.
As you said, I don't think a "+wrong number" mistake should make you lose 5 points... It can easily be corrected. We should decide if we will lose points for giving a wrong number of points in the future.
(I'm not updating the game because there is only 1 guess so far)

Yeah, if it's a mistake like the one I did, it shouldn't lose any points, for the reasons I gave above -- it doesn't give anyone a strategic disadvantage, in the way that Xedron's mistake earlier did. But I think it's important that the codemaker have the incentive to double-check the actual information about the word that they give to us, so they don't mislead us.

Xedron, you're not allowed to guess twice between each time the code is updated.

DUCK is invalidated for now.
