I didn't have a facepalm moment when i finally just gave up and looked it up, i actually had one of those moments of clarity where you think "wow thats really clever"

I most definitely had a facepalm moment when I googled the answer for #3 just because I had actually thought of the answer but then discarded it for a really dumb reason that had to do with wording.

ADULT has two letters in common with it, not at their correct places. GUSTO has no common letter with it. STORY has one common letter, at the correct place. BUILT has one common letter, at the correct place. DYING has one common letter, not at the correct place. BUGLE has two common letters, but only one at the correct place. LIGHT has no common letter with it.

took about 20 mins of work, but think I got it :-) Would have been about 10 but was operating on fallacious logic :-( Another facepalm moment when I realized what I was doing wrong. Zak seems to be good at that.

So you DO check this thread like every 30 seconds, Tyme4aNewDay. I was wondering how you always got the points so fast.
The game is afoot, I s'pose.
