I'm working on it. I have it decoded...but trying to make sure I have all my grammar correct.

 

I hated the grammatical correctness part, and I am praying to still be in. Great contest anyway!

 

How many are correct cpm9ball?............... better yet, was MINE correct?

 

I thought it was just capitalization and spelling... I was fairly certain grammar was stated as being the comma and two periods that were included.

 

I am feeling number than a sack of rocks right now..please tell me this: did all of you who have sent in your answers just start trying out letters here and there? I'm staring at all too many options right now, and tons of cross-offs

Yikes.

I'll let everyone know when the contest has ended.

It's mostly a matter of having done these before, knowing that certain letters appear much more often in English than others, and having a good idea of the common words that are likely to appear.

 

I think I'll post the answer................................................................................................... SOON

 

The trick with these, Lucy, is to look at the groups of words and find a common word to match and then see if the letters fit in other word. Start with the 2 and 3 letter words. Then, when you have a word with a double letter, think of words that fit it.

This is the easiest way to explain it. Once you get the hang of it, they aren't too difficult.

 

It looks like the entries have died off. I thought we might get more entries than this. I'm thinking of closing the contest earlier rather than waiting until next Friday. What does everyone think?

Chris

 

I would not be opposed, but I already got my entry in so I am a bit bias

 

yes, I would like that. But only if I'm the winner, lol.

 

I think that's a good idea, how about Tuesday?

 

Oh sure, close it early!! I personally am anxious to see how far off I am.. way off..

Very fun, and surely a challenge!

Thank you!

Lucy
