Yes you are right chaps. Using a system is not in the spiriit of the game but as you can see it isn't exactly doing great and I have been completely honest about my approach which was simply to demonstrate the difficulties we are facing in this game. After my first wild guess I have revealed the number of possible answers, this bearing in mind there are only 1124 valid words remaining. However, not kowing that, there would be 2309 possible answers and nearly 13000 words accepted as valid guesses. Even using my system I was very close to a fail
Apart from demonstrating the scale of difficulty, it also shows how clever some of you lads are, far more clever than I, that's for sure
I can see it's not going down too well so I think I will gracefully leave you fine chaps to it and wish you all the best. I will of course stay in touch regarding your progress in the league as I would love to see you back in the Premiership
It's been great fun and thank you for allowing me into your league
Special thanks to Snaggey for maintaining the scores and for the weekly commentaries. I feel quite honoured that I actually received an honourable mention a couple of times. Can't remember if I made it to the 30s club, but if I did I had no luck with any bar maids
Best wishes
Ron
