Why not, > it's their guess they are wasting. I disagree. One difficulty of 5x5 is that one wants to make a query consists of such-and-such letters, but one cannot recollect an appropriate word. That's why English version of 5x5 enforces query words to be scrabble-sane. It's not "wasting". Such @#$* query may not be the word one wants, but it may provide very useful clue to find it. mi'e sanxiyn. ------------------------ Yahoo!
