Rane, I am not logged in. I am using the web. it would be really
convenient if your text file were located in your www directory, so that
you could publish a URL for it. Then I could click on the thing, or
bookmark it, and it would be very convenient. It's just a thought,
anyway.

I will copy it to the file lcgame in my www directory. The URL will
be http:/www.cyberspace.org/~rcurl/www/lcgame.
What is the flag on copy to copy with attributes?
Hmmm...the new challenge (for me) of this game is how to reduce the
word length back, say, to four letters. Tres difficile. Adding an s
is no fun.... :( I'll have to think......

If you ever get stuck for a word, you can try using:
/a/a/l/albaugh/public/newword <oldword>
Here's sample output:

You probably wanna use your noggin before resorting to this, and note that
it won't show you *all* possibilities - just what Unix spellcheck thinks
are possibilites. And it won't eliminate previous guesses. FWIW, KLA

consept?! nope.
consenty? nope.
cowsent? (obviously = sent by cows) okay, nope.
econsent? (to consent via email) right, nope.
oh well, it'll have to be
content,
which doesn't appear to have been used already.
what a surprisingly excellent game - well done mr albaugh. you could
probably do with some kind of time limit, couldn't you, so that you know
when to presume that everyone has given in... just a thought...

Wow, 11 months between responses. Not a record by a far sight, though.

13, surely? and i'd thought it was only one, and comparatively alive and
kicking! careless reader syndrome...
er... conglest would be the most congly, surely? or perhaps as in 'the
norman conglest'...)
grrr...er...

referee!
am i right in thinking changing two letters is out of bounds?

Correct, the next word can differ from the previous word by only 1 letter.
So the last valid word remains "congests".

well, i think i'm stuck here - unless anyone feels like allowing corntests,
which is obviously testing corn... no? cointests? definitely stuck...
i'll have to think about it on the train tomorrow...
