Ah well. I had to look it up after I was done to be sure. Initially I thought it was a name but the other meaning was pretty self-evident.

If it's your brain that made the mistake instead of your fingers, should that be called a brainographical error?
brainographical error

Hah! Good one!

Haha. I got it in 4 too but, as I mentioned elsewhere, I'm on this public computer which wont make me copy/paste. So I'll prove it when I get home! The solution surprised me though! I didn't really believe it when I wrote it.

EDIT: And to be completely honest I had no idea what THANG meant when I wrote it. Had to look that up too. :)

My process has eliminated all but about a dozen words. I don't really choose them.
I may have to start over from scratch as it looks like I have a couple of bugs. One of the words contains an X and none of the words contain a W.
