Game: Guess the Word!

1

Hello Everyone,

Let’s play a guessing game on all things related to astronomy!

It’s a simple hangman-like game. One person (the host) will think of a word from the world of astronomy and write the word as blanks. Everyone else will try to guess the word. We can ask if a letter is present and if present the host will fill in the blank(s) with that letter. If you guess the word correctly (host confirms), congratulations, you become the host for the next word!

Note: Only 5 asks per word in total. After the 5th ask, host can wait for some time (maybe 24 hours), before revealing the word. If no one guesses correctly, host continues with the next word.

Hope we can all have fun with this!

I’ll host the first word (slash is a word separator):

Fits, but not what I had in mind. Apologies, for the delay in response. Hectic day at office & the timezone doesn’t help.

Maybe additional clue might help.

_ _ n _ r / _ _ _ _ l _ _ _ _ _ n

Lunar Occultation?

That’s Correct. Not sure if there are many takers here. So as Siva suggested, I guess this will fly over a Star party evening.
