ok, we've been dancing all around that U, time to prove it.

KUGEL - if 1 then U is proven.

G is wrong from ARGUE. EL is wrong from EDSEL.

QUEUE =2 means that 1 of QUEU is correct. ARGUE and WHERE ruled out the 3rd E and 4th U, so that means 1 of either QU is correct. We all know it's U because Q without the U is extremely unlikely but we gotta prove it. That leads me to KUGEL. Assuming it scores 1, it must be K or U. If it's K then U is wrong and Q is right and that's a paradox. So a 1 means U is correct.

If by some miracle it's 0 then Q is correct and I'm re-evaluating my extensive word list. (Yes, QATAR is in the list but it doesn't end with E)

ok, took me a while but I think I get your proof.

KUGEL - if 1 then U is proven.

G is wrong from ARGUE. EL is wrong from EDSEL. therefore KU = 1

QUEUE =2 means that 1 of QUEU is correct. ARGUE and WHERE ruled out the 3rd E and 4th U, so that means 1 of either QU is correct. (QU = 1) now it's U because Q without the U is extremely unlikely but we gotta prove it. That leads me to KUGEL. Assuming it scores 1, it must be K or U. If it's K then U is wrong and Q is right and that's a paradox. So a 1 means U is correct. QU = KU proves not K or Q, KU = 1 --> U = 1

Wow, no one's gotten this yet. I assumed it would be guessed overnight.

I agree that the g has been confirmed but I'll allow Quag the opportunity to prove it.

My word list has 2 very strong possible answers. I'm just not sure of the first letter. Hope this is the correct one.

FUDGE?
