Curse Of The Hidden Hangman

Before asking another question or boarding another form of transportation, seekers must beat the hider in a game of hangman. To play, the hider chooses a 5 letter word, and the game ends after either a correct word guess or 7 wrong letter guesses (head, body, two arms, two legs, and a hat). The hider must respond to all queries within 30 seconds. The seekers cannot challenge the hider for 10 minutes after a loss. After [S 1] [M 2] [L 3] losses, the seekers must wait 10 more minutes and then the curse is cleared.

Casting Cost: Discard 2 cards.

The chosen five-letter word must be a real word, found in a dictionary, in the language that the game is being played in. You cannot, for example, use a French word if all players only speak English. If the hider ever fails to respond to a query in 30 seconds, this curse is instantly cleared.
