An empty row can be a lot of information too!

Yes, the second word is orthogonal to the first and populated with the next five most frequent letters. The probability that I get ten blanks after the first two choices is 0.017 and that also carries a lot of information because it leaves about 40 words as possible candidates.

I like how seriously you take this. If I didn't knew better I'd say you had even less of a life than me. :P

EDIT: But trust me: you dont.
