Question

Same basic rules but with one exception

There are 26 common words (except for the X)

No letters are repeated in any of the words.

There are no plurals but some words end in S so be cautious.

Varsity. It only shares on letter with Include, but it doesn't match with zealous, it only matches two letters when it should match three.

:( Not a type-o, JC?

Hey, JC, is that a type-o? The horizontal Z line says it shares 2 with the letter V but the vertical Z line says it shares 2 with the letter V. Thanks :D

Err, I meant, 2/3 not 2/2, the vertical line says it shares 3, the horizontal says it shares 2

I think I got G

GARNISH

4 in common with HOSTAGE, VARSITY, XANTHIC... and so on... I've compared it with most of the solutions we already have and it fit!

EDIT: One more E (G helped a lot!)

ENGLISH has 5 in common with GARNISH and I also compared it with the X and Y words and it fit!

E and F yield D:

DOLPHIN

edit: This one took me a while

when hostage/postage share the same number of letters, I start by discarding the P and H (knowing I might have to consider them later, but this is the first time I've needed to)

if andromeda's E is right, it helps a lot with F!
FACTORY

(triology must provide the TROY, optical must provide the OTCA)

E and F yield D:
