*groan* not another QuU! I'll get stats, BRB.

1:06 am

baggo

krys...st work will try and get someone to look so we'll know...

Stats:

8 - 1
7 - 12
6 - 27
5 - 50
4 - 49
--------
total: 139
--------
C - 27
E - 7
i - 6
L - 4
N - 4
P - 17
Q - 7
R - 25
S - 12
T - 15
U - 14
W - 1

I think all the words starting and including Q in the solver actually work in the list. I accidentally "saw" some words in the process of figuring this out, so I have a small advantage today :)

1:13 am

Krys10

Ah. Baggo, didn't get your message in time. Thanks though.

1:23 am

Krys10

dammit, already found a problem: subtract a C7 from the stats. so,
total 138
C - 26
7 - 11.

Oh, this one looks promising! I'll give it a go - just done cooking and having dinner and now the kids are playing with their dad... or the other way around. Guess I can take some time for myself now ;D

Why isn't the plural of the Q8 valid?

12:51 pm

testing

it's an adjective, so there is no plural

12:52 pm
