The second letter is o, eliminating the q as a possibility for the first letter. From black to boast, we know b isn't the first letter and a isn't the third letter, so either the s or t is correct. Since TWIST has both s and t at the end and score one, we know the middle letter is not i. This eliminates the QUI from QUILT, and leaves the LT. Therefore, is QUILT scores 2, the last two letters are LT, and if it is just one, it's T. If it scores 0, the second to last letter is S.

Little bit of incorrect logic here. Not all words have u following q, see this link. Sorry izzy :(

Well, the only words on that list five letters long beginning with "qo" are qoppa and qorma, both eliminated by the st logic. So, while I didn't explicitly include that in my analysis of the word, it sort of goes without saying. Regardless, I get +25, and it's up to t8t8t8 whether or not she wants to award herself points for my mistake.

I don't want to host. Anyone, feel free to take it.

yeah t8t8t8 should get +5 for that because we agreed that linguistics don't apply, just logic: (in other words, logically you have to assume that even sykzr could be a word unless PROVEN otherwise)

EDIT - I suck at noticing pages on topics I haven't watched for a while

Anyway, I think I could jump in here and take it. I hope my word hasn't been done before.

E in fourth place

VOWEL has 1 => eliminate OW because HOWLS is 0 => leaving V/E/L => eliminate V because TOWEL has 1 and V & T both cannot be in first place => leaving E/L => eliminate L because STALL is 0 => leaving E in fourth place

Can't see a dent in that logic, and you are correct.

HOWLS - 0

VOWEL - 1

STALL - 0
