The 4-Letter Word Game

The 4-Letter Word Game

In response to the unprecedented  demand from Non-Participants who are clamouring to know the results of the 4-letter Word Game conducted among a few brave members of RCEM’61, it was decided to publish the number of correct submissions made by each Participant. This is given below.

     Mazhar     - 01
     Firoze          - 02
     Omar          - 02
     Bala          - 02
     Navroze     - 06
     Chaman     - 07
     Rifky          - 07
     Wahid          - 11
     Delano     - 11
     Jawahar     - 12
     Eric          - 16
     Sam          - 16
     Rafil          - 18


The results are based on all entries received and approved by our Arbiter Firoze S. up to and including entry No 110 (TILE by Eric).

Rafil who accounted for around 16% of total submissions emerged as the Winner and was awarded the title of Most Jobless Member of RCEM’61 for the Month of July 2006.  When asked to comment on the secret of his success, Rafil  gazed bashfully at his Blackberry. The Runners- Up were Sam and Eric who it appears are equally Jobless.

If any Non-Participant wishes to have the full list of 4-letter words submitted for this Game, he should contact our Historian Firoze S.

After all, one is never too old to learn new 4-letter words !!

5-letter Word Game : Proposed Rules

In the formation of every new word :

Rule 1: One OR two letters of the previous word MUST be replaced

Rule 2: The letters may be re-arranged, if necessary

Rule 3 : The first letter MUST be one of the last three letters of the previous word.

Rule 4 : No proper nouns [Names of places (KANDY) or people (RIFKY)]



e.g. Previous Word : DENSE

New Word 1 ENTER ( begins with E / D & S replaced by T & R)

OR
New Word 2 SENSE (Begins with S / D replaced by S)

Words conforming to the rules and following a non-conforming word will be accepted and scores awarded. No score for any non-conforming word. Decision by the Moderator.
Game and play to continue even if participants are aware that the word is non conforming.


We also propose introducing the following Scoring System :

E, X, Y = 0

A, I, O, R, N, T, L, S, U = 1

D, G, B, C, M, P = 2

F, H, V, W, K = 3

J, Q, Z = 4

Scorer - Delano
Moderator - Eric ( Back up and for Eric's contributions - Firoze S)


NOTE : This system has been based on the Scrabble system, with the exception of the letters E, X and Y - the reason being that other experienced 5-letter Word Game Players claim that it is ‘very hard to find 5-letter words beginning with these letters’. So we thought we should discourage our worthy players from using such letters by awarding zero points to these three letters to prevent the Game getting ‘stuck’ and thereby ending abruptly before 31st August 2006.
