I've been using it for years and I've just realised I don't understand it. Who decides which order the same-stroke words rotate in? It's obviously not alphabetical, so I presumed it was the most common words first... but who in their right mind uses 'nun' more often than the word 'mum'? (Except nuns, of course). Also, why are some everyday words like 'cosy' not even on the system? I'm using the common T9 system, by the way.

i know! COAL... ANAL... COCK... *FNAR FNAR* also why won't it save some words for a few days and then it forgets them where it saves others for ever!

That also reminds me - have you noticed how some same-stroke words have links? KISS is the same as LIPS. COCK is the same as ANAL.

Oh and well done, by the way :)

Just noticed some more links: LOUD LOVE, BAKE CAKE, BEER ADDS BEDS...
Yeah! I've found some more (not as good as yours though....) dual/f*ck, smirnoff/poisoned, ummm..... i'll find some more later (i know there's loads more!)
How about Jay/Kay!!!

can you change the order? what i don't understand - you type 64448 for night (longest string of letters in a word on the same number that i know = 444 (igh for night)) so after 6444 it says "nigh" but you add 8 for the t and it switches to might not night. DOH! how do i get it to predict night before might. or should i get out more often?

I know exactly what you mean, Darth! But there is some boffin somewhere with a wacky "order" which we all must follow. If there's a way of changing the order, I know it not and would also appreciate someone telling me of one!

Noticed another link (it's a good'un) SHEEP RIDER
