I was thinking more on the lines of:

"Add my name into the Subscribed database Dear - you don't really want your friends to know about.....?"

A question Scurra

If an answer is submitted and doesn't exactly match what you have, will it be be thrown out as incorrect?
e.g. If I submitted e-mail rather than email

...and, is there a limit to the number of incorrect guesses?

No limit to the number of wrong guesses (so yes, a couple of the puzzles could be solved by "brute force" I suppose :wink:)

If you enter an answer with a hyphen in it, it will always be wrong unless I specifically mention that there is a hyphen somewhere in the answer. So the safest thing is to remove them before entry.

What about two words instead of one word?
eg finger nail and fingernail

Either my last post has disappeared into cyber space or it never actually left the planet I'm on at the moment.

Anyone struggling to find the correct wording, PM exactly what you have to offer and I'll help as best I can.

That said, once you have a few answers you should see a pattern forming. Some may wish to "wait and see".

Your choice. :D
