Izzy Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 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.

Guest Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited August 8, 2010 by NickFleming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 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.

unreality Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 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) Izzy - 381 Glycereine – 288 Unreality - 284 t8t8t8 - 190 Plainglazed - 185 Framm - 177 Vineetrika - 154 Dawh - 97 woon - 94 NickFleming- 89 golfjunkie - 72 Cherry Lane - 40 blahblah99 - 28 yuiop - 21 Abhisk - 20 PVRoot - 20 JarZe - 20 Filly - 19 Prince Marth - 15 DudleyDude - 15 and if no one else wants to host, i will, but if someone else wants to, please take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
