Welcome to poll #5 of the latest HangTrek - a Star Trek themed word game for the Fediverse. Read on for rules. Poll #1 revealed a single S, #2 flooded us with E's, then #4 saw N join the winner's circle, and you all got an A in #5 (indeed, three of them). This time, an added challenge is to identify the theme in the poll.
/ _ _ / _ _ _,/ _ _,/ _ E A _ _ _ E,/ _ _ / _ _ _ _ S E,/ _ _ / _ E / _ _ _ E / _ _ _ / _ _ E / _ _ _ _ _ _ A,/ _ E ' _ E / A _ _ E _ _ N _ / _ _ E / _ _ _ _ _ E?/
/ _ _ _?/ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ E / _ N _ _ / _ E / _ _ _ N'_ / _ N _ E N _ / _ _ E / _ _ _ N _?/
Word lengths, line 1: 2, 3, 2, 7, 2, 6, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, 7, 4, 8, 3, 6
Word lengths, line 2: 3, 3, 2, 2, 4, 2, 5, 5, 3, 5
The Rules:
The host puts up something like this, with blanks to be filled in, and includes a poll with four letters. The winning letter gets filled in, but only if it actually appears in the puzzle. At least one of the poll options must show up in the puzzle, and this process repeats until someone guesses the answer.
If you make a guess, please do it with a Content Warning (CW) so as to not spoil it for other folks still working on the puzzle, as an incorrect guess might still be an extra clue. The first person to guess correctly gets the option to run the next one, if they like.
