I guessed the "place" right today on the first try, but couldn't see the script writing on the field.

I imagine there will be a lot of first guess winners today. I need to build in the ability to see the image blurred when I create a puzzle.

The hint system will be updated soon. The first hint (after your second guess) will just be the category. So, something like Person, Place, City, Business, Athlete, etc. There will be an additional hint given after the next two guesses, for a total of 3 hints. They will not be dead giveaways like the current set of hints have been. At the very latest this new hint system will go into play for Monday.


I also plan to open it up for a wider audience starting Monday. So guests will be able to play without an account. Guest will see a link to the game in the main menu (currently you only see it if you're logged in).

Yeah, mainly because it was the most "iconic" photo of him it was easy.  If it were a regular photo maybe not as easy. But I still enjoyed.

It’s going to start getting harder once I make it public. I want to try to make each Friday extremely hard to end streaks.
