Re: Will anyone achieve a perfect score?
I would say that the probability of all letters rounds having a 9 letter word possible, is pretty much nil. Has there ever been more than 3? I expect someone will know. ;) Yes, I remember a game that involved Ben Wilson which had like 5. Edit: Actually no, it had 4 - quite a few have had 4 9's.
