the word was symbiosis
I'm going to be trying to cold turkey Grex for a little while, and I didn't
want to just leave this item in the lurch. (Actually, I"m not all that certain
I'll be back to Grex anytime soon.)

Well, thanks for resolving it, then. I guess that leaves me as the only
player; it seems silly to start a word and keep checking the item when no
one else is playing, so I'll let it languish.

heh we used to call his game cow-bull game . The number of letters in correct
positions are cows and number of correct leters in wrong positions are bulls
. so the responses are liek 2-cow 1 bull .. etc .. Also we wer restricted to
five letter words and 4 guesses and you have to get the word in the fifth
guess.

It's interesting that there is an antecedent. I learned it in the form
played here, but as a verbal (no dictionary, no notes) five letter game
for car travel. Even though it wasn't restricted to five guesses, people
always got the word in the end. It takes a memory feat, however, and does
sometimes degenerate into some argument about what word got what score.
Having the additional information of how many letters are in the wrong
position should make it easier.

resp:386 There is just such a game around here, somewhere, but I can't
either think of its name nor find it at the moment. It's with 4 numbers, not
five letters, though.
