Well Jay needed a challenge.

No, I don't mind. It keeps me sharp.

And it gave me a chance to show my thought processes.

I'm assuming that the answer is: pickerel

But that means antelope should have been 4 letters match (0 in the right place) and pickerew should have been 7 letters match (7 in the right place) because both e's would count, since the guesses had at least 2 e's and the answer has 2 e's. I know how confusing this game is when it comes to repeated letters.

So is pickerel correct?

yes pickerel is right I dont know why I cant write these clues right it may have something to do with the fact that the majority of it was done after midnight here

Now is he being naughty or is he being nice?

wallaby

I'm always nice.

wallaby: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)

That wasn't nice

0 would have been nice.

octopus

But it was 1 in the right place. So you have one-seventh of the answer already.

wallaby: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)
octopus: 4 letters match (0 in the right place)

And since wallaby and octopus do not have any letters in common, your guesses contain 6 of the 7 letters. There might even be only a couple of animals that fit those clues. So it was very nice.

No it wasn't.

We already know my brain does not work like a computer.

firefly

wallaby: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)
octopus: 4 letters match (0 in the right place)
firefly: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)

Now there might be only 1 animal that fits.

lamprey

Post by **Jay** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 8:32 pm

wallaby: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)
octopus: 4 letters match (0 in the right place)
firefly: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)
lamprey: 4 letters match (0 in the right place)

You should now know 1 letter that definitely has to be in the answer.

yeah right

opposum

Post by **Jay** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 9:40 pm

wallaby: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)
octopus: 4 letters match (0 in the right place)
firefly: 2 letters match (1 in the right place)
lamprey: 4 letters match (0 in the right place)
opposum: 2 letters match (0 in the right place)

You should now know 3 letters that definitely have to be in the answer. The octopus/lamprey clues should have told you 1 letter. The octopus/opposum clues should tell you 2 more letters.
