Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for September 06, 2021

From a helicopter.

It’s 0500 and I can state very definitely that my understanding of this panel matches its title.

I loved playing Hangman. The only thing I never figured out was how many guesses should be allowed. We used to add eyes, hair, noses, mouths and even FINGERS to allow more guesses. Wheel of Fortune is a modern day version of Hangman, but you don’t get to hang anybody. LOL.

Do kids still play this game?

More fun than tic tac toe

What is it that the child is using? It must be battery operated since I don’t see where it is plugged in. Also it must use bluetooth or wifi since there are no cables.

I’m still not sure how the user interface will work. Maybe it uses voice recognition.

I am impressed how big yet thin the display is. I’ve heard that you can even fold it multiple times so it can fit in your pocket.

Hangman!

Does not teach spelling. Its A guessing game

Teach vocabulary and history.

Now see? That shows my lack of education. In over 8 decades I never heard of that particular game. I am very happy to know my other guesses were way off the mark.

In addition, I would think that being able to name and/or recreate human body parts would be an education in itself. Our hs biology teacher never used that as a teaching tool. We learned it by chart and example.

So, thanks for the enlightenment.

Rainy days at elementary school we would play hangman on the chalkboard along with other games to occupy our time in lieu of recess

It’ll probably get banned. Imagine the screams if it was called hang woman. Idiots.
