Hi Bob,
did you mean to type "reply to post 34"? Because post 31 was from you!
Also, I do not understand what happened in post #29.
Taff uses 'pilot' in a set of 4 words and scores points for the combination and the group title.
Taff uses 'pilot' in a set of 3 words and scores points for the (different) combination and a second group title.
They cannot both be right. (If there's a post explaining the rules of this game, I've not seen it yet).
Anyway, have the words 'pilot' and 'quadrant' been adequately accounted for by the "ship navigation" group?
If so, which words are left to be grouped?

Hi Bob,
I AM working with those two groups. I am using three words I know to be incorrect for the group in order to confirm that "Stewarded" is, in fact, correct for the group. Hence the
Believe me, this is a lot less painful (for you) than watching me go through 4 substitutions on word 1 (all wrong), 4 substitutions on word 2 (all wrong) etcetera, until I chance upon the correct permutation.
That way could take as many as 16 postings. This way I should be able to do it in three.
