    Nope, no problem. But why did you say we changed it?

    I see that you have edited that, too. I'm through with this thread.

    OK, that's a bit of a mess here. Five points:

    1) @Craig Wilson Since a thread "Baker's Dozen" already exists we'd need a different title for this one like "Guess the word" or something similar.

    2) In my previous thread I was just putting a possible procedure for this thread up for discussion because the Hangman- thread didn't work. I did not, however, start the first game because I was waiting for other members to give the go-ahead before we move on. That's why there was no description of a word.

    3) @Shirley Martin Don't give up, please. There's no reason.

    4) Yes, we should be aware that it may take a bit longer until a round is finished due to time zones.

    5) We now need a volunteer who comes up with a first description of a word that s/he will then complete by filling in the letters given by other players.

    Who will start the ball rolling?

    If it's dragging on, the key player should perhaps add a letter to keep it going.

    OK, here we go then. Remember to give a category and the number of letters.

    Category: kitchen
    The word I'm thinking of is known the world over and under different names in English. Since the majority of players are Australians I'm looking for the Australian word.
    Description: It's something people may be using in the morning when preparing an invigorating morning drink. The word consists of two parts and has 13 letters in total:

    _ _ _ _ _ _
    _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    I'm waiting for your letters and will fill them in if there's a match. :)

    PS: I'm just realising that the two parts of the word don't keep separated if they are in one line. That's why this way.

    @Louise Miller. Good to see you stayed Louise. As there is already a Bakers Dozen thread am changing the new title to, The Word Is.
