I had approximately a 1/13 chance (barring another "nuplex") at guessing
the word at this point, so I guess the best explanation is "luck" combined
with a judgement about the likely obscurity of the word.
I'll try to have a new word in mind by the next time I log in.

Well, we're back on-line! (For those in posterity who are wondering
why I haven't responded in a couple days, grex had some system problems
and has been off the net for a couple days). Anyway, we're on with
the show!
cooper 0 (Last_Word)
poodle 0 (aruba)
A summary of guesses for the current word (these are the first two, BTW)
can be found in the file /a/k/e/kentn/letter.match. The rules to the
game can be found in the file /a/r/c/rcurl/lettermatch.rules. All are
welcome to participate (read the rules first, though).
