I always maintain a letter.match5 file, though it's inconvenient. I have to telnet in specially for that. Would it be all right to ask everyone to keep janc's convention of re-posting the previous guesses each time the scores are determined? scrum

Nuts, I thought I had it with "claim". I demand a recount!
| response 28 of 1578: |
Dec 24 17:20 UTC 2002 |
("claim" was impossible after "cream" scored 0:
score(cream) = score(c---m) + score(-rea-) = 0
since all scores are positive, score(c---m) = 0
score(claim) = score(c---m) + score(-lai-)
since score(c---m) has already determined to be 0,
score(claim) =< 3
