hmm I never moved her score, so if someone did it wasn't me :-p. I was wondering though because I didnt think I was first DAZED-0 STAID-0

I actually get +30 for the word. Although I wasn't expecting to get it that fast!

LEGAL

we had decided that you could use 1 word contingency logic. I however could have increased my own chances in that situation by doing the rest of my logic to say that if DICED was 2, I must be the 2nd letter. PACED is 2 and P is the first letter so one of ACED must be right (but only 1). DICED being 2 means that 2 of ICED must be right, since D cannot be right from the already proven P. since ACED must have 1 right and ICED must have 2 right and the only difference is the I instead of A, I must be the second letter.

come on guys with 2 blanks you have alot to work with :-p.

yeah better logicking for that would be: BBCDE-1 my word: ABCDE If ABCDE is 0, then B must be the first letter from BBCDE-1, the BCDE (2nd through 5th letters) are all excluded from ABCDE-0, so the only remaining letter that can be correct from BBCDE is B as the first letter. As for the non-real and foreign words, they are not supposed to be allowed but participation had been dwindling a little so I let them go this round with no penalties. It's somewhat host's discretion however we should be a little more strict. I usually use dictionary.com as a reference because it has far more words than most paper dictionaries (which I used previously and couldn't find alot of words people were using) but still has some sort of guideline. 3 of the words this round weren't found there or in my giant Websters on my desk. Anyways, updated scores: Glycereine - 518 plainglazed - 428 Izzy - 386 Vineetrika - 337 Unreality - 284 t8t8t8 - 190 dawh - 184 Framm - 177 golfjunkie - 170 NickFleming- 136 woon - 136 Blablah99 - 89 Harvey45 - 70 MollyMae - 46 Hirkala - 36 JarZe - 25 yuiop - 21 Abhisk - 20 PVRoot - 20 Filly - 19 Prince Marth - 15 DudleyDude - 15 phaze - 15 Kac_cotu - 5 Fabpig - 5 You're up Harvey!

+5 fabpig I'll let it go this time because i was able to easily see your logic but it wasn't really fully explained. Need to somehow tell me how R was the only option, not just that it is the only option. What you were missing was that TERNS and TURNS cant have the same correct letters if E or U was right. Not necessarily worded that way, but yeah... It actually took me a minute to even see if you could have proved the R. You had all the right words scored in your post just needed a little more "logicing" :-p T _ R _ _ T _ _ _ _ FLOOR-0 CHAIN-0 ROPES-1 TWINE-1 TWAIN-1 SWINE-0 TAPIR-1 TURNS-2 TERNS-2 TWINS-1
