Partner Challenge
Monthly

Welcome to the TCF Lingo challenge. In this challenge, you will try to guess the Lingo word using your book titles and series names. You must choose ONE word from the title or series to use. Please specify in your post. The word you choose IS YOUR GUESS. Every 3 completed books earn you a free guess. I gave you the first letter.

You will be competing against each other. Each guessed Lingo word is worth 5 points. When you guess the word correctly, you will receive a new word.

Please Note: I will only be doing updates for this challenge on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays.

Lingo Word
S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (words this month will be 7 letters long)

Example
The Slippery Slope Slippery
is not the Lingo word. (Green is a correct letter in the correct spot, Yellow is a correct letter in the wrong spot, and Black is an incorrect letter)

I'll try this one.

I'm in once again xx

I will do it again

Im in

I totally want to do it again, but can we match up with someone who reads at a similar speed? Or is that too hard. I just feel bad my opponent couldn't get nearly as many free guesses.

I'm in again :)

You can pair me with Kelly. I don't mind if I get fewer guesses. Reading 8+ bpm right now.

I would like to sign up again as well.

ETA- I don't think I will be reading as much in Feb. as I did in Jan.

not for me this month, school’s starting :(

Id like to sign up again please

Yes, please!

I'll play again!

I'll play again if I'm not too late

I will try to get your partner as close to your reading speed as possible. I use their stats but RL does change things... I can't control that. I will set up threads in the morning. Any books you read as of February 1st will still count so keep reading!

I have a cute little heart shaped trophy badge for you guys to earn this month...

I’m in again!

I'm in

I'm in!

I’m in again

I’ll join again

I’ll play again!

Go on then, ill give it a go

Updated to here... I have even numbers now. I will still accept signups in pairs until midnight. Otherwise, I will put you down as a backup player. No signups will be taken after midnight except backup players.

Threads are posted...

I would like to remind everyone that this is just a game. RL is going to get in the way. Please be kind to each each other and not expect your partner to keep up the same pace if RL throws them a curve ball. I paired every one of you (except one pair who both read a lot of books) with someone who reads a monthly average within 4 books of your monthly average. That is how close all of your reading paces are. ALL OF THEM.

Sorry, I missed that Esther said it wasn't for her this month... she wasn't actually signing up. I also skipped Tori. So I swapped them out. Tori will be paired with Wolf. Hopefully, you guys are not too lopsided. Wolf does tend to be competitive.

Are we the ones who tend to read a lot of books? A book a day at least? :)

Donna, my partner Jill hasnt popped in yet and im not able to message her

The pair I was talking about read well over 30 books a month each and you are not that pair.

Wow!

I hope it's not too late for me to join? I'm happy to be paired with anyone.

Sorry, folks I was exhausted and fell asleep last night. I will get your words today even though it is Tuesday.

Richard... Signups are closed for February but there is always March.

All good. Thanks.

It's all good. No need to apologize. Sleep always comes first for me. ;)

Good evening everyone! I am at the hospital with my husband. I am okay but my husband is pretty sick. So, unfortunately, I will not be able to update threads tonight. I will update as usual on Wednesday. Thank you for understanding.

Sorry to hear that Donna. I hope he gets well soon!

I know I meant to update a LOT sooner than I did. Things were a bit more complicated with my husband than I originally thought. He is finally home from the hospital and has a long recovery ahead of him. Thank all of you for being so very patient with me.

So glad to know he's on the mend, even if the journey is long. He has you with him, so that's a plus. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm glad he is doing better. As I've said before, real life comes first. This is a fun game but ultimately only a past time. Take care of yourself first.

Stumped pairs that didn't guess any words - better luck next time!

Patti & Jessica
Wolf & Tori

Just an FYI... at least one pair discovered that a lot of the words this month had something in common. Double Zs ... A lot of 7 letter words that I saw had these double ZZs so I thought it would be fun to use them and only one team caught on. Only a handful of the words on my list did not have them.

Thanks for another fun month of Lingo Donna!

Yes, thank you Donna, especially all that was going on in RL for you!
