Conditions for the "Word Hunt."

Following is a list of answers to some questions which have been put to
us concerning the $50 "Word Hunt." Many asked the same questions, but we
endeavor to answer all the different ones in the following:

No other authorities than Webster or Worcester may be used. Words that
are marked "obsolete" in the Dictionary may not be used, neither may
compound words. One letter may not be used twice unless it appears twice
in the Puzzle Words. The letter "a" is a word. By proper names is meant
not only given names of persons, but any words that must be commenced
with a capital letter.

Prefixes and suffixes may not be used except when they form part of a
simple word. Words of the same meaning but spelled differently are
allowable, but words of different meanings and spelled alike are not.
The possessive case, diphthongs, slang words, abbreviations, and
contractions are not allowable. Degrees of comparison, the different
forms of the verb, and plurals that are formed otherwise than by adding
"s" are allowable, also words in the Appendix.

Words derived from the Latin or Greek may be used, but words commonly
used, yet purely foreign, may not. All the letters contained in the
Puzzle Words need not be used; each word may contain any number of
letters, no matter how few, so long as
