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.

edit: fixed my explanation. I still don't understand.

I need help with B

B shares 4 with trilogy, and one with varsity

So from trilogy there can only be one of: t r i y

so the other 3 (L O G) are definites

<so far: BLOG>

B shares one with factory: the O

so there's no t r y

back up at trilogy there must be an I

<BLOGI>

B shares 2 (IL) with include, so there's no n or d

B shares 2 (OG) with hostage, so there's no h

if there's no h, there's no p (postage also shares 2)

B shares 4 with dolphin: O L I , not dphn

so where do I get the 4th letter from dolphin?????

i came to pretty much the same thing, thou not so elegantly worded (my is scrawled over an entire a4 paper haha)

could it be an (cue dramatic music) error!?

ha! Mine is scrawled over 3 sheets of scrap, from working and reworking. I finally decided I hadn't done anything wrong and needed to post for help. My multiple edits were from improper translation of my scribbles.

All your figuring is spot on.

It seems I made (dramatic music) another error

B shares 3 letters with I

That's two mistakes now..one more strike and I'm out!

LAWSUIT

[Guest]

thanks for help jiminy, now all ahve to do is decipher my scrawl...

but to be fair it was CL that pointed out the error, i just thought i wasn't seeing somethin and being thick

hmmm well this was one of the possibilities i eliminated earlier, and if i read it right then

Correct!

Thanks for not suing!

[Jiminy Cricket]

Correct!

So who will solve for A?

A^2 + B^2 = C^2? no no no no no...wrong department.

well, then there is another error with B

because B shares 2 (I G) with garNish

[Jiminy Cricket]

That's it, I give up.

A should be fine.

[Guest]

well, I didn't think A was fine, but I was wrong again.

Nice puzzle. I can't believe it took so long for me to find A. I went back and discovered my earlier mistake. I didn't realize I was done with the H-word with A and E, and tried to put a T in it also.

Now who is going to make a 6-letter puzzle? Prof T., I think you offered previously....

I'll put one together if I can find some free time. I'll be sure to check and double check, but when putting the 650 numbers into a grid I tend to get crosseyed. Excellent puzzle JC!

Then try using only 325 numbers. That could reduce your errors somewhat (unless you use the reflection as an error-checking mechanism), and you can shift the burden onto your puzzle solvers!

I actually just copy the other half. I should use it to check for errors though.

[Jiminy Cricket]

I actually just copy the other half. I should use it to check for errors though.

I entered all of mine separately, hence the error on one half but not the other.

I noticed some ironic humor with two of my words that shared no letters between them: English and Factory.

I'm looking forward to your 6-letter puzzle, Prof. Templeton.
