Wasn't really planning to do this, but it only took a couple of minutes and it's kinda cool.

I was thinking how this would be a cool idea quite a while ago, glad to see it.

There should be a prize for the first person to get a nine starting with every letter of the alphabet. Kirk has every letter except XYZ, I haven't checked anyone else.

I don't think nines from Classic Games should be included. :|

Aye, they do look confusing somewhat. I had a moment of wondering if there was some bug in the randomisation when I saw the same selection numerous times for a particular nine until I twigged it was in a classic game played numerous times.

Care to elaborate for us non-geeks? :P

Interestingly, Prime is the only person to get any of those (here, here and here), and he only needs X now.

Also, ORDINATE/ORDINATES has appeared 271 times before. :D

This could mess things up a little but you could have in red the nines the person has missed.

Yeah, I recently looked this up as I had misremembered it as ZEODARY instead of ZEDOARY. Funny it should crop up.

I asked him for an I but got a Z. Managed to miss the singular though. Similarly, here I asked for an N for SUBTOPIAN and missed SUBTOPIA. :roll:
