Challenge 2: Your Wheel of Fortune
{ROUND 02 TEAM CHALLENGE}
Your World of Text
You know what we all need? A good dose of nostalgia. Let's revisit early Mish Mash LSGs back when the idea of an anonymous game was a new and novel idea. Challenges were rather different then. Ready, Aim, Fire wasn't looked at in horror and disgust. Challenges were much less intricate. And that's where things like YourWorldOfText thrived. You could do all sorts of things with a YWOT challenge: scavenger hunts, ACSII art creation, cooperative challenges in realtime, and all sorts of things. We've decided to revisit for good nostalgia for some people, and a completely new experience for others. Let's dive in to see what we have in store for you!

Alright guys... they can’t all be winners.
After some reflection, us mods have realized this is a bad challenge. Let’s count the reasons why.
1) 15 minutes to hide words is way too much time given the amount of keyboard spamming you can do in that time.
2) Multiple teams are having trouble scheduling 4 players to be on at once, which we should have helped schedule at the start!
3) There’s no way to lock down the YourWorldofText page after the 15 minutes are up so teams can continue editing secretly.
4) Word searches aren’t very fun when you don’t know what words you’re looking for.
I wrote this challenge and accept full responsibility for its failures, and I want to apologize to all the time and effort wasted. We’re going to try to move on from this and forget it ever happened by throwing in a new challenge in its place.
{ROUND 02 TEAM CHALLENGE v2.0}
Wheel of Fortune
This challenge will be played as individuals. When you’re ready to begin, fill out the below form and you’ll receive 4 categories, each with 5 words or phrases that fit in that category. However, the vowels will be removed and replaced with blanks. As fast as you can, fill in the blanks and complete the words/phrases. Once you submit the form again with your answers, your time will stop. The team with the fastest average time wins and is safe from elimination. You have48 hoursto begin.
To begin, fill outTHIS FORM. You can pass on ones you can't figure out, but a wrong/no answer on any clue adds 5 minutes to your time.
Outside sources are NOT allowed, as well as discussion about the challenge with other players."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

The history is: Once upon a time, Pat Sajak hosted a game show and it got somewhat popular where everybody(probably) had heard of it. So it made it's way to Mish Mash. And that, dear children, is how history is made.Xalxe: this is xofelf sometimes we call each other names and other times we share emotions

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.
Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.- D3f3nd3r

If the spaces between words were given (or if they were there and I simply didn't see them, thus meaning that they needed to be bigger), I'd have stood a chance.
As-is, I was butchered; I couldn't figure out any movie quotes, didn't know most of the films so had no choice of getting them (similar to the quotes, I can't get what I never have heard!), had no clue what any of the games were, and got 5 guesses. Of 20 questions.
And yet.
SOMEHOW.
I wasn't last?
