Letters instead of numbers

[edit]

The way I know this game, letters are used instead of numbers, and each guess must be a valid English word. Is this not a common variation? Stevage 06:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This variant is currently included in the description. Joule36e5 (talk) 19:58, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Add Links to 4Digits as well, 4Digits is though not supported now. Added Links to GtkMoo. Add screenshot of GtkMoo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.227.97.99 (talk) 20:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IIT-K?

[edit]

What's with the line "This game was quite popular at IIT-K some years back, and is much more engaging than the numerical version." ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.248.160.146 (talk) 21:34, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I removed that text. We don't care about where it was once popular. If someone wants to add back the other clause, a more encyclopedic statement might be along the lines of "using letters instead of digits, while restricting the letters to form dictionary words, results in a richer search space".

I am very interested to know that it was quite popular some years back at IIT-K. But I'd be more interested in knowing the first reference to the game. 19c? Burraron (talk) 13:41, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
