Grex Language Item 62: Six Letter Word Game (second edition)
Entered by srw on Tue May 3 17:05:39 UTC 1994:

This item is a continuation of item 52. The Six letter word game.
Item 52 passed 1000 responses and became unwieldy and slow.
The rules are in /u/rcurl/lettermatch.rules, but they were written for the
5-letter variant. Make the appropriate substitutions for this game.

I will be keeping a summary of responses in /u/srw/letter.match as long as
I am "it" I am "it" at the moment, so I will begin with the obligatory
declaration:

I am thinking of a six-letter word.

Have at it.

1001 responses total.

Could someone please link this to iq?


#4 of 1001 by rcurl on Wed May 4 02:56:34 1994:

We're working on it. As a fw here, I can link items into language, but
not elsewhere. Ziggy is currently among the missing, so I've asked
someone with root to do it. 


#5 of 1001 by srw on Wed May 4 04:53:31 1994:

I placed an announcement so that IQ players will know it's in language.
I asked remmers to link it. I do not know how to do it.
Ziggy hasn't logged in since the wtmp started on April 30.

There'll be someone here with root. I'll knock them up (as they say
in England).

#17 of 1001 by remmers on Thu May 5 04:13:53 1994:

[Item 62 in language is now item 30 in iq.  (I did the linking as cfadm.
Normally linking is left to the fw, but since the fw of iq hasn't logged
in for a few days and linking of the word game items is standard practice,
I went ahead and did it.)]

That looks awful promising; I can't find another word that fits the guesses
so far!
