Given the curiousity and playfulness of many eGullet members, I have no doubt that we have many puzzle lovers: word games, crosswords, jigsaws, and so on. However, discussion of such puzzles is outside our mission and so never discussed here.
Until today.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Phoodle. The objective is to guess a 5-letter culinary term in no more than 6 guesses. If you solve it, you'll see a bit of extra information about the term in question. Here are the rules:
This is the first culinary-specific word game I've seen. I have to admit, when I got today's answer I was glad to get an explanation; the word is brand-new to me. I'll have to try to work it into conversation around here, or in real life.
Anyone else want to play? I got it in 4. It doesn't seem to have a share function and I don't want to show a screen shot, because it will give away the answer.
Edited to add: discussion about the answer, on the following day, could also be fun. I'm curious to see who here already knows today's word.
