S for Strawberry Field

Someone remind me of the 5 consonants rule. I need to put it in Post 1 of the thread. The current puzzle has exactly 5 different consonants.  

There is a post (somewhere within this large thread) giving a rule that the poster should mention at the start if a puzzle contains less than five different consonants.  If a puzzle has exactly five, there’s no need to say in advance because the standard rules apply anyway.

If you are editing Post 1, maybe put something along the following lines:
To guess a vowel, five different consonants must first be guessed correctly; except if a puzzle contains less than five different consonants, the player should mention this at the start, and all of these consonants must be guessed correctly before a vowel can be suggested.

I hope that helps.

I’ll go with N for Now And Then .

We’ve had this in post one for a long time: “To use a vowel, five non-vowels must be guessed correctly.” 

Would we want to lower the threshold for guessing vowels if the puzzle has fewer than 5 consonants?

We could say that each puzzle must contain at least five different consonants.  I think I have always kept to that point even when the puzzle has been quite a small phrase.

Have we ever hung the poor, unfortunate soul? Or have we just kept guessing letters until someone guessed the puzzle?

In the time that I have been playing, we have always continued guessing.

I’ll go with S for Something this time.
