Sorry. What up is that I rm the file, and then pico it, which creates
it with the wrong permissions. I'll fix that (and try to rememember).
The delay, incidentally, is that I only sign on *twice* a day, at most,
and there are enough players to run up the count pretty fast. I think
the five word limit is still valid - but perhaps we should have
simultaneous games? So...

DING! BANG! BONG! ZING! .... Kentn has hit the bell. I thought that one
would last longer. Hard to predict what will and what won't. Go to it. Kent!

"mellow" + "clicks" kind of limited what it could be (assuming the 4th
letter is L by looking at "antler" and "mellow"). I don't quite like
making such assumptions, but it is a guessing game, after all...
Okay, I'm contemplating a six letter word...

Well, my dictionary (Web's 9th New Coll.) lists "nickle" as a
variant of "nickel" so I think it's okay here. We'll give vishnu
a slightly different position in the list, just 'cuz it's after
2 a.m. He'll just have to remember that since he's last on the
list again, to wait for someone else to guess...
