I meant to ask what method you use to do the filtering. Editor with macros, Excel and macros or longhand ?

Edit: a bit of this and a bit of that. I have my list stored in Microsoft Access and some queries that allow me to sort by each letter. If I see a guess that scored no X's, i will adjust my query to bring back any word with any letters matching those positions and delete them off my list. If the guess has X's then I adjust the query to return words that match no positions and delete those.

I can easily fully automate the process but that takes all the fun outta the search. I still do most of the weeding longhand, but I also make errors doing it like that.
