Board Thread:Season 31 - Retribution/@comment-5001881-20160123040117/@comment-26233531-20160124003954

This is remarkably similar to a challenge I just played here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/839-games-n-things/73182258 (Yes, I know you can't view that link. But I'm an admin there, so if you have a GameFAQs account with at least 10 karma then you can PM me (DreamwaIker) and I'll invite you to the board.)

A difference is that you don't allow repeated letters in words and your letter sets are the same for both teams. And actually your challenge is easier to do with pre-existing programs (if those are allowed), whereas I don't know of a good program that does repeated letters, so you might have to write one yourself for that (if writing programs is allowed).

While I'm mentioning programs, I should ask (in advance of Season 32) the admins here what the rules are regarding programs found online and created yourself. Are they allowed?

And if you had a riddle-solving challenge would googling the riddles be allowed? I ask because I know it's hard for you to know whether or not someone googled something, so by making it "not allowed" you might be relatively penalizing players who honestly abide by the rules.

I suppose it might even be that different hosts here have different rules on what programming and googling is accepted, and if that's the case then I'd appreciate hearing from any host who sees this.
