 If none of the people that are guessing the word get it right the person who give the word DOES NOT get the point

Though the origins of the game are unknown, a variant is mentioned in a book of children's games assembled by Alice Gomme in 1894.This version lacks the image of a hanged man, instead relying on keeping score as to the number of attempts it took each player to fill in the blanks.The word to guess is represented by a row of dashes, representing each letter of the word.
