R?

No, I just knew there needed to be another vowel, and U was the only only left.

OKAY! HiHo and away we go!

This should be fairly easy.  Fiction.  Made into a 1960s movie I recently watched on the Turner Movie Channel.

Take your time, Joan.  We'll still be here...WAITING....and WAITING.....and...   LOL

Looking back, I see that there used to be quite a few more players.  Only a few now.  Wonder why?  The rules were a bit different also; looked like people guessed  letters for a day or so, then the challenger gave a clue...  Confusing.  I like the way it is now.
