    For anybody who's lazy, like me: ---- ---- --- --
    , ----
    is the number of words and letters we have.

    It's probably cogent to ask for the last letter before the comma; the end of a phrase can tell us a good amount about what's involved. That would be letter 17.

    Either one is good. I say first letter of the first word cuz I hate working backwards on stuff like hangman.

    Curse you coutts! Now you've made me look like a copy-cat.

    I wonder if Phalla-something is the last word?

    That's not right for a village win however, as we have an indeterminate amount of tries.

    Think of Wheel of Fortune, specifically the bonus round. You get all the common letters for free to give you a hint; we need to try for hints, not just brute-forcing it.

    Because we don't have letter hints right now, we can only try to make predictions about the phrase itself.

    Also, everybody should vote for the 2nd letter in the 3rd word.

    I've got an "f" lower case and all if that makes a difference.
    Letter one of word one is a logical place to start.

    That'd be letter 18 (4+4+3+2+5)

    Spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tm5Eyx1SUkS19tCRHidE0jA

    It's in my sig too!

    I have no idea who to vote for yet, but I agree with Letter 18

    i might change it from a super-grudge to a normal grudge, but thats all i can offer.

    the following words are good to begin to understand:
    -word 3 (few three letter words)
    -word 4 (2 letter word? need it)
    -word 5 (word with a comma, will give us a good clue)

    starting at the start is not the right choice.

    letter 18 then. either that or the second letter of the third word, or the first letter of the fourth word. those are the logical starting points.

    Alright.

    If we go for letter #10 that will help us figure out what that word is.

    For example: if that letter turns out to be "H", the word is more than likely "THE".

    Then we should go for Letter12 or Letter13.

    After that, we can fill things in. But getting those two words will help. ALOT.


    Hence my belief that we need Letter10 first.

    Right, that will help, but we can also deduce that based upon the letters we have revealed (especially the quantity of common ones like t).

    Letter 1 is pretty worthless. We may as well just crack open a dictionary and start looking at all the four letter words that begin with that letter. I'd say letter 2 is a better choice than letter 1. In general, I like knowing the middle of a word because it lets me eliminate the possible letters than can begin and end a word. For example, if the second letter of a word is 't', then I know that the first letter is a vowel, or 's'.
