Sure, but we would need to take a look at the scoring. Host is likely to get more guesses...

I can run six letter words through my program to get the average number of guesses to see what those results are.

and you fail at mind reading Wombat...

CIVIL - ?

I believe that the impact word length has on scoring may not be as significant as it appears.

As the words get longer more opportunities for exclusion occur and thus guessing becomes a bit easier - just thinking aloud.

Here's the approximate distribution of word numbers / length for online scrabble lists:

3 letter words = approx 950-1000 (apparently)

4 letter words = approx 3900-4000

5 letter words = approx 8600-8800

6 letter words = approx 15200-15500

7 letter words = approx 23100-23500

8 letter words = approx 28400-28700

9 letter words = approx 24800-25000

10 letter words = approx 20300-20500

11 letter words = approx 15500-15700

12 letter words = approx 11300-11500

13 letter words = approx 7800-7900

14 letter words = approx 5100-5200

FARCE = 1

FJORD = ACRES =SPADE = 0 means either A is 2nd or C is 4th

SPACE

if 1 then C is 4th as SPADE = 0 rules out SPA_E.

if 0 then C is not 4th so A must be 2nd.
