what happens if ALL letters are guessed and no one send a guess through PM??...... would the high scorer win or the person that got the last letter and completed the puzzle?...... even so they need to send through PM?...... just divagating (not sure of word) a bit

I am hoping it doesn't come to that! Possibly the person who guesses the last letter? Nobody seems too keen to have a guess at this one anyway. Perhaps everybody is too busy to host the next one, or maybe the “amang” is putting people off guessing? Did I not mention it was in a foreign language.

PS While I have been preparing this, Pict9 has just guessed the last letter! Would you care to host the next puzzle at all?

I don't know who James Grieve was (other than being the Laird of Boghead obviously) but I'm guessing he was not popular.


Epitaph on James Grieve, Laird of Boghead

Here lies Boghead amang the dead
In hopes to get salvation;
But if such as he in heaven may be,
Then welcome - hail! damnation.

HA! Sorry, I missed the Z. There were none of them.

Yes, the amang made me realize that it was in Scotts' English, and I'd better not guess at unknown words! As I have the highest point total, shalll I host the next one? Let me know!
