... In France, this game is called Jarnac http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarnac_(jeu) (Pun with Jarnac = j'arnaque). Several years ago, there was a site to play...
... As if you need to ask :-) Totally untested as I've never played the game, just written code for it :-/ (I.e. the code does what I intended it to do, but...

I'm composing a puzzle for an upcoming treasure hunt which will be a 6x7 (I hope) grid containing six specific 12-letter words. I *almost* managed to squeeze...
Graham, Thanks, but this doesn't seem to have a solution to quite the problem I'm trying to solve. But that's okay, it'll be interesting to write one myself. ...
... If the word list is completely known in advance, then it cries out as a problem where you would want to solve it for *all* words in your wordlist at once. ...
... [...] ... Nice ideas, both! Actually, thinking some more about the reversed trie, this is one of the problems a gaddag was intended to solve, isn't it? ...
... Thanks :) ... Well, I was thinking of this in terms of building in a has_prefix? function into a wordsearch program I'm writing; right now it uses a dawg,...
... If you just want to know whether there is a prefix, perhaps you can add one bit to every node in your dawg with that indicator. That solves the question...
... Well, we just assumed that you meant that subset of a dawg that we usually refer to as a trie ;-) After all, the traversal code is identical. Your...
... My acquaintance, the elementary-school teacher and singer/songwriter Bob Blue, invented a game called "universals." It works well in a group of six to...
Buy WHAT with cash, such as at the BAT, and save $5. WHAT costs $19.95, such as with a credit card on-line, but you can give me cash or a check, and it will...
Hi, I am interested in DAWG programs and am requesting that hopefully someone could refer me to any good reference sources for the subject. Also I was trying...
I wonder if anyone can help. I normally run LeXpert on my Dell Axim x51v. I have transferred the files to my Navigo sat nav but can't get it to run. I suspect...
I'm new to the group, after an interval of 10+ years, that is. Not familiar with the protocols, so hope I don't stomp on anyone's toes. Anyhow, I've written a...
I was playing online the other day and the person I was playing against started out with PIES. It was a waste of an S, I thought. A couple turns later he...
The probability of drawing 7 tiles which make a 7-letter word is about 12% -- not all that rare. If one of the two tiles left on his rack after TEASE was a...
Yeah, you're right...I should forget it. What I meant was not that he had any access to the letter sequence but that he was using Lexpert or some other...
The chances of the seventh letter being another E given TEASE? is 4.3%. But we'll never know the probability that he had a bingo that he could find in that...
If this was on isc.ro, you do have access to all his racks after the game (and up to ten games back), with the examine feature. Some other site, couldn't tell...
... If this was on isc.ro, you have access to your opponent's rack during the game itself, at any time, and you can draw any tiles you want out of the bag. If...
