Also be warned that it is really easy to make a mistake on judging. Some online or downloadable computer help is recommended. I did this one by hand, listing the words in the original quote in alphabetical order and ticking them off as they were guessed, with a second style of tick mark for words in the wrong position.

Looks like #2 is yours if we go by the same rules as are used for GTCU.
Yes, we need some guidelines for this to work well. I suppose some gentle hints if the guess is close, or some broader hints if no-one is getting it - just like GTCU as you say. If this section takes off then we can create a separate area for them a la GTCU, but for now I'll append to this thread.


Anyway - now I've googled about what ditloids are, I'll set a new one.
