yeah, exactly. the role of the analyst almost alludes to having to set up something like this.

other things to consider: is 3 the bottom, or the top, which would be more consistent with the scoring? is 6 letters too many to mentally sort while you're in the middle of driving (hence breaking it up into L/R grid as well)?

indeed -- we were going to try this as well (assuming they don't somehow make it illegal, but i don't see how they could or why they would)
