(Since it's the holiday season, I'm not gonna zap aruba for guessing twice
in a row. But just don't trying guessing again until someone else does! :-)

Oops - sorry. But since sprice guessed in #627 (he must have slipped in on
you, Kevin), I'll guess:

Boy, that one only lasted 10 guesses! Good work, I.M.Mixt! ;-)

If you want them to last longer, I guess they have to be obscure ;-)
I'll try to have a somewhat obscure word in mind next time I'm on.

Look at that, folks! Started off with a hit! Could it be a
less-than-obscure word? Who knows? Guess and find out!
A summary of the guesses and number of correct letters for each guess
for the current game can be found in '/a/k/e/kentn/letter.match'. All are
welcome to join in the guessing but see '/a/r/c/rcurl/lettermatch.rules'
for the rules of the game before trying to interpret the results.

I thought the previous winning word was always to have zero letters in common
with the new entry-- (This puts me in the position of admitting that I
really don't know how to get to these places that list the rules and previous
entries-- any assistance would be appreciated)

sprice, I think that's just a habit we've gotten into, not
necessarily a rule. As rcurl, pointed out a while back, it's
funny how that's usually the case (previous word scores 0),
but it doesn't hurt to guess the previous word if it's not
provided by the person who's "it."

Hmmm...I'm beginning to thing this word wasn't obscure *enough*.
Can't win sometimes...
