Reviewed them. They're corrected here. Where is Captain Ed's Spreadsheet?

psychopathic - oooooxx

philosophies - ooooox

psychologies - oooxxxxxx

Acknowledged and hummingbirds were wrong too.

Right Answer: Your answer:

acknowledged : xooo acknowledged xoo

hummingbirds : oooo hummingbirds ooo

If you are not going to use the spreadsheet, at least do not tackle such a big word!

Can you please review these?

cheating:xxxxo

thrusting:ooooo

cheapest:xooo

It is hard to conceive that cheating has 4 x while cheapest has only one, and at the same time thrusting has no x at all.

Since cheating and cheapest share the same 4 first letters, it leaves only the last 4 letters of cheating as possible candidates for xes (ting). However, thrusting, which ends with "ting" has no x.

thrusting has 9 letters leading to the confusion. I will check others by hand if you still want me to.

Thanks WM I saw that but I wasn't at liberty to be on my laptop at the time. I would guess since thrusting has 9 letters we can take it out and go from there.

GM,

I would still prefer it if KingOfPain would take the time to review all answers.

On the previous game, 4 answers were wrong.

When that many answers are wrong, it becomes more like a job than a game :(

I'm using the spreadsheet and have verified most of them. Any specific inconsistencies you spy?
