It is more about solving the puzzle, winning anything is just a bonus. I'm happy with just getting the answer. I also get a bit of encouragement from my wife... 'You haven't finished that one yet ?'

rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 4:09 pm I think my next approach is with hint #2. I have 170 three letter words that have an 'O' in the middle, 153 of which do not have repeated letters (eg POP). It will take some time to test all of the permutations but it may be good practice for mastermind at the same time. In case anyone wants to help, or knows one I missed, here are the 153.

rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 7:47 pm , I feel so alone. I am finding three letter words with an o in the middle, then filling in 'GJT if one can be found. If I get that far I look for a 'GSKE' and then 'TYVR' out of +3000 four letter words. I've done more than 950 combinations. Someone else must be working on this too. Scooby, you out there?

rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 08/19/2010 7:53 pm from that last hint I figure the N is either the T,Y,J, or L. Yes? Anyone? Report this Post to the Staff

weavus135 Pillar of the Community United States 539 Posts	Posted 08/20/2010 12:01 pm I haven't given up but I don't have the same tools you are using so my manual crunching is very slow. And if I counted correctly, 'n' would be one of those. Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 08/20/2010 12:12 pm GJT does not contain a traditional vowel Report this Post to the Staff
rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 08/20/2010 2:07 pm Quote: GJT does not contain a traditional vowel Now this is a valuable hint. Assuming everything vanishes relates to the comment of the message, that may come in once I get one solid word. The one that still has me puzzled is the Non-Parity Device (npd12) Report this Post to the Staff
rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 08/20/2010 2:10 pm One might note also that it is not said that it contains any vowels. It is the abbreviation that has me concerned, which word is it. Could be GJT with no vowel, or not and it contains a 'y'. Just thinking out loud, or rather with my fingers. Report this Post to the Staff
nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 08/20/2010 3:30 pm The abbreviation contains two vowels. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 08/20/2010 5:25 pm It doesn't appear to be a straight letter substitution puzzle. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 08/20/2010 5:38 pm Somebody solve this thing already! I wish I could find the time to work on it. It looks intriguing. If it's still here tomorrow, I may have a go at it. Report this Post to the Staff
