Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I've approached this from two different directions already and both have given me contradictions in the clues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Same here, but I may have tunnel vision??? Tunnel (I know tunnel is not the word. I am just shooting letters out there!) Edited April 17, 2009 by WilsonsMum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainEd Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Yes, my spreadsheet that helps me solve these came rapidly to the conclusion that there are contradictions in the numbers (never mind the positions). I've just emailed Chidoric asking if I may run the target word on my machine and send back the answers--you folks have already put in so much brain power, you deserve the chance to do it with the right numbers.

You have a spreadsheet for solving as well? Wouldn't that be handy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainEd Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 You have a spreadsheet for solving as well? Wouldn't that be handy... It..."helps"...but I'd hate to send it out and continually apologize for its difficulty of use (and misleading results), otherwise, I'd gladly do so. I'm trying hard to find if there's just one or two of the answers that are wrong. This is a rather exhaustive task, and I haven't found the right mix yet...

Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hmm... Back to chidoric's word; Where are we so far? I am pretty lost cause I was absent for a bit and now I am adrift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 chidoric hasn't been around since just after their last post. My nerves TWITCH with anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 There's no point in continuing to guess words. I think once the corrections are made there should be enough information to solve it. And you guys should wait and guess words after the corrections are made in order to avoid wild guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 OK then, I'm going to start a short one while we wait, unless there is an objection. I can't go ALL day without a fix. 3 letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) You make Masterword sound like POT. We all need a FIX. EDIT: Awh. Edited April 17, 2009 by scsw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Sorry, I'm on spring break, when I'm not sleeping, I'm eating, when not I'm either this or Tv, or sports, since now CaptainEd knows the word I'll be lazy let him do the fixes and new guesses, then I'll take over again.

CaptainEd Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Dear Masterworders, Chidoric's machine has been recently wiped, and is suffering from reinstallation blues. Therefore, manual answering of Masterword has ensued, with the consequence that a couple of errors are made. Here is the latest query list, with changes to "pretty" (was o) and "squire" (was ooo). edit: Chidoric has a good point: now that I've fixed the errors and answered recent queries, it's back to Chidoric for the few remaining manual queries plants--oo orange--oo adrift--xo sundae--xoo zipper--o twitch--o spread--o banana--o qualms--xo duster--xx choosy--oo uneasy--ooo coccyx--o winter--oo either--o saying--xoo squire--xoo cheese--o pretty--__ buying--xxo hopeful--ooo butter--x tunnel--xo turtle--x absent--xo Edited April 17, 2009 by CaptainEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thank you very much CaptainEd. If you do not mind, I would prefer that you keep track of the results instead of Chidoric. We do not want to be sent off track again. Would you mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not want to be sent off track again. Would you mind?Dear Chickadee, I can certainly relate--I need to have accurate counts, or it gets to be too difficult for me. Still, chidoric got 15 answers right before making a natural mistake (squire) and a probable typo (pretty), AND I can lurk for the next hour. How bout you folks continue to toss in queries, and Chidoric will answer (with highly focused mind)? If I see a problem before I have to leave, I'll weigh in.

CaptainEd Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 You're quite welcome, Mum So, WilsonsMum solved Chidoric's Masterword, but is not ready to host one. Neither am I. Somebody please lay one on us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
