Nice call, HayManMarc! Now when you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen a jam theme be a question.
*rubs forehead* IT SHALL is pretty much the opposite of a question, so let's guess that. I'd wager the letters were chosen to be as unhelpful as possible, so word 2 probably would be obvious if any of its constituent letters were revealed.
This lends itself well to a "it shall A, not B" juxtaposition format, so let's guess word 4 is NOT.
*rereads GameDevDan's statement on 4 out of 5 blue letters being correct*
Okay, never mind.
IT SHALL - - - E - - ING YOU - - - - it is, I suppose.
So... what words fit? IT SHALL DETESTING YOU is the first that comes to mind, but that doesn't flow properly.
Maybe I'm getting blinded by confirmation bias... let's take a step back.
This is EvanSki's original guess. Bold letters are known; one of the non-bold letters is incorrect.
I N / - - - - - / - - -
E - -
I N G / Y
O U / - - - -
The possible permutations of known letters are:
I - / - - - - - / - - -
E - -
I N G / Y
O U / - - - -
I N / - - - - - / - - -
E - -
I - G / Y
O U / - - - - (feels unlikely since NG is the most common way for an english word to end in G)
I N / - - - - - / - - -
E - -
I N - / Y
O U / - - - - (feels slightly less likely since NG is so common, but INT could perhaps be it)
I N / - - - - - / - - -
E - -
I N G / -
O U / - - - - (feels unlikely since there's very few words other than YOU that fits)
I N / - - - - - / - - -
E - -
I N G / Y
O - / - - - - (feels unlikely since there's very few words other than YOU that fits)
We could also make the implicit guess that E, O, I all make no more appearances since that's usually how that works. But it's not been confirmed this time.
Since YOU is the only word that fits for word 4, we can probably assume it's known. It could be indirect YOU MUST, if we keep assuming word 3 is a verb. But it doesn't need to be.
Likewise, word 3's most likely ending is ING, so I'd wager the first word's letter is the one mismatching. Which means it's not IN, so it's IS or IT.
IT would be followed by a qualifier or state verb, but many common ones like MUST, MUSTN'T doesn't fit. IS is commonly followed by THERE, and
that fits, so let's roll with that for the guess.
Here's my final guesses:
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU LOVE
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU HATE
(FEAR, LIKE, WANT, ENVY all match as well, of course, so the last word could basically be anything at this point)
