Did you see rule 7? By my interpretation you can't play once you've submitted a solution that was rejected...

I'm confused now.. I thought you said that first I had to make a letter guess and then send my guess in? You never said that my guess was wrong? was it? :confused:

Your guess is perfect, but you submitted it before you requested a letter which violates rule 7 of the game. Therefore you are disqualified from participating in the rest of this game. It will soon be over and you can participate in any upcoming games. For fairness sake, I need to hold you to the same rules everyone else is held to.
