I'll admit that when you get it in 2 it's mostly luck. In 3 it starts to look like deduction. :)

I've been using "IRATE" as startword lately.

EDIT: I mean when I play. Lot's of stuff going on in my life recently. Most of it unfunny.

Once again I'm on this public computer that wont let me copy/paste. (I really wonder what security hole they think they closed disabling that.)

Anyway, I didn't guess it at all this time. Just thought I'd admit it so it doesn't look like I only post my wins. :P
