If you have "din" and "other", can a "not" be planted on all-existing letters, given that they are bits of different words? Would there be a difference between straight-line instances of that kind and orthogonal ones? [[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 14:57, 30 June 2017 (UTC) |

:Yes, that's allowed. The only restriction given is that you cannot embed a word completely in another single word, like putting "one" inside "done". [[User:Fwend|Fwend]] ([[User talk:Fwend|talk]]) 21:26, 30 June 2017 (UTC) |

:: Maybe I should drop that restriction because it complicates things, and my own (Java) code doesn't even fully support it. [[User:Fwend|Fwend]] ([[User talk:Fwend|talk]]) 00:11, 1 July 2017 (UTC) |

Not sure how important the output format is
The task did not really say much about how the result should be displayed. Not sure if that matters... --Rdm (talk) 04:13, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- As long as you can check the result, it's fine. -- I get the impression that in your solution there isn't much overlap, which wouldn't disqualify it, but maybe I should specify that? Fwend (talk) 10:31, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Overlap query
If you have "din" and "other", can a "not" be planted on all-existing letters, given that they are bits of different words? Would there be a difference between straight-line instances of that kind and orthogonal ones? Pete Lomax (talk) 14:57, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
