You are right it needs more stats. It has been running now for nearly 10 years I think (night and day on the server). My friend and colleague Noll Scott who did the coding (but who died tragically in a road accident a few years ago) predicted that it would get quickly up to 12 to 14 correct letters and then might take millions of years to progress any further. He has been right so far because it hasn't added any more letters for over 6 years. But, of course, there COULD be a complete set by tomorrow morning . . . . Hi
