BOOKING LEEPING

So is this back to the old scoring? SCORING

PEPPERS REDWOOD - 1.5 INHAULS - 1 BOYCOTT - 0 PREEMPT - 3 CONTACT - 0 CONDUCT - 0 CHOWDER - 1 PRESHOW - 2.5 WIMPISH - 1.5 FOOLING - 0 Nana +5, Curr +40

btw Curr, you are up. Do you have the word yet? Which scoring are you going with?

but yeah, a computer would find your version easier to crack because it is getting more info per guess than the other version gives.

You got it. I will do scores in a couple of hours. Do you have a word list with every word on it? I do that sometimes if I know the first letter, but for every letter that would be a very long list. Anyway, a correct guess is a correct guess.

??????? REDWOOD - 1.5 INHAULS - 1 BOYCOTT - 0 PREEMPT - 3 CONTACT - 0 CONDUCT - 0 CHOWDER - 1 PRESHOW - 2.5 WIMPISH - 1.5 FOOLING - 0

??????? REDWOOD -1.5 INHAULS -1 BOYCOTT -0 PREEMPT -3 CONTACT -0 CONDUCT -0 CHOWDER - 1 PRESHOW - 2.5

??????? REDWOOD -1.5 INHAULS -1 BOYCOTT -0 PREEMPT -3 CONTACT -0 CONDUCT -0 i have excel, and an auto would be nice for this

??????? REDWOOD -1.5 INHAULS -1 BOYCOTT -0 PREEMPT -3 oops, correction above

??????? REDWOOD -1.5 INHAULS -0 BOYCOTT -0 PREEMPT -3

??????? REDWOOD -1.5 INHAULS -0 it is certainly more of a challenge

I can do the score update when I get home. Curr, I like your new method, but why not take full credit rather than 1/2 for guesses? What do others think? I have a word, same scoring as Curr with 1/2 for right letter in wrong spot. ???????

RECYCLE

RESTORE

I was not going to mention the R is proven but here goes. We know 2nd letter is E. Since MEETING = 1.5, only .5 is left for either --E or ---T, so T is not in the right spot. Rooting = 1, and T is not in the right spot, so either R is in the right spot or R and T are both in the wrong spot. If R and T are both valid letters, and there is only 1 E per MEETING = 1.5 and RECEDES = 3.5 and D is disproven, only 1 E would be allowed, leaving REC---S, which means all 4 letters are valid with 3 in the right spot in order to have 3.5 score So RECST would all be valid letters if T is valid. But STORAGE = 1.5, and STRE is too many letters (would equal 2.0 or more), max of 3 can be right for 1.5. Therefore T is proved not valid. Therefore R must be the first letter.
