HangMan: Week 5: We have a winner!

RULES:

There is no sign-up: join the game whenever you wish. At the end of the week (Monday, Monday August 9) we tally the points and the winner starts up the next game.

Right guesses get points, wrong guesses get points taken away, and our lynch mob victim gets gradually hanged.

One guess per person per turn, so please wait till the puzzle has been updated before you post your next guess. Your point balance can go -50 points per puzzle before you are eliminated from the round: you may rejoin at the next puzzle with that deficit, to try and recover some ground.

Incorrect Letter Guess: -10
Correct Puzzle Guess: +25
Incorrect Puzzle Guess: -25
