 THE WORD! THE WORD! - the Blake's 7 (Blakes Seven, Blake's Seven, Blakes 7) version of WORDLEWORD #01 ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ To play: post your suggestion as to which valid B7-related five-letter* word that might be. My response: I'll consider your replies and indicate progress daily as follows: Example: [B] ___ ___ [E] ___ Letters coloured pink eg. [E] are correct, but in the wrong place. Letters coloured green eg. [B] are correct and in the correct place. If there are two pink letters sharing the same incorrect position, or even a pink and a green, I'll put them together in curly brackets {X,Y}, {A, B}. It's been agreed that neither hyphens nor Roman numerals are acceptable. *Additional: by consent, from the start of the second year of THE WORD, THE WORD, six-letter  WORDS are now allowed.Winning: I'll show the correct answer when I post the new WORD, along with the name of the FIRST person to send me the correct WORD by PM. I'd say that if you know three or more letters are correct, it's worth PMing your guess.Entries end at midnight on Saturday (UK time). Three consecutive wins will mean I have to post an image of your favourite B7 character. Mind you, every time I win, I show my respect for her by posting an image of President Servalan. Additional: if the rebels can prove I made a mistake, I will remove one of the images of the Supreme Commander. (The WORD was formerly available in 'Xenon Base'. This game is, of course, a cunning plan to distract you rebels from your foolish little attempts to disrupt the Federation). The real 'Wordle' is available from the New York Times at: https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/...index.html "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The WORD, #8.19, day 5 I wonder if you can guess what happened? Yes, DEVA won three in a row with LEGEND. How very appropriate! CONGRATULATIONS to him. And there's just time for a cheeky bonus WORD: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The WORD, #9.0 ARTIX with BOMBS would not be a good idea. But you do gain a couple of clues: [A] [R] ___ ___ ___ Have you rebels found a good place for your new base yet? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The WORD, #9.0, day 4 I suppose you're all waiting to see what LARAN gives you? ___ [A] [R] ___ ___ A slight shift to the right, and more pink. Now what? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

My helmet is shiny, my thinking is slow; Just point me at rebels - I'll let them go! Dressed in black, I look quite severe, But clever old Vila has nothing to fear. I march when commanded, I stand when they say, I'm useful to Servalan - till I'm in the way. She needs me to threaten, to capture, to fight, But my life isn't worth a bulb in the night. “Don't touch Gambit!” Belkov said clear, “Go on!” said Servalan - and I disappeared! I've even tasted IMIPAK's death, Just to show Blake its deadly breath. While Jarvik plots glory and Belkov schemes sly, I'm standing behind them, just wondering why. The Federation may call me its sword - But who am I, worth less than a word? I wasn't always this foolish, you see, There was once a man inside me. Before the helmet, the orders, the fear, I could think for myself, I could see things clear. They taught me to follow, not question the why, To obey every order, let conscience pass by. For the Federation needs men who obey, Who do as they're told, with no clue what they say. If I never ask questions, I won't understand The horrors I carry out at monsters' command. If I never see victims as people like me, Then a monster's just someone I'm ordered to be. I follow their orders, I serve and obey, Not knowing the price that others must pay. Perhaps there's still a man in this shell - Who might have been different, if treated well. |

The WORD, #9.0, day 5 Another lovely poem from intergalactic, but nobody has any further suggestions as to the WORD. Therefore: [D] ___ [R] [A] ___ So at least I don't have to worry about a bonus WORD this week. It wouldn't be fair to give you one on day 6. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
