[INCORRECT]
Sheer grinding perseverance combined with a bit of luck will eventually lead you to the solution… though perhaps I should give a small hint?
[CORRECT]
This is a hard thing to figure out, I suppose, even if you are the type of solver who takes good notes.
[CORRECT]
Pay no attention to the poor spelling of “chunks” in #137, as it was inadvertent and sprung from some sleepy and defective brain region.
[CORRECT]
A continuous flow of examples does not seem to be helping, so maybe someone should “Ask the Master?”
[CORRECT]
I must be a lot better at coming up with rules than figuring them out, since I’m still at a loss.
Ah, the shoe is on the other hand. The tides have flipped. Cats and dogs playing pinochle together. Seriously, no clue…
[INCORRECT]
Helpful hint (not really): read the BBQ Pit.
[CORRECT]
[INCORRECT]
Hint (again, not really): Forget about cats and dogs, but instead drive down to your closest Walmart warehouse and ask to pry open some random box or crate.
[CORRECT]
Is this right?
[CORRECT]
[INCORRECT]
Look unblinkingly and with diligence at my above [CORRECT] examples to find a common factor that just might (like an onion) make you weep tears.
[CORRECT]
A good many of the solvers who try counting anything (words or letters) in order to get at the answer will remain lost.
[CORRECT]
Please give us some more hints since it seems that we are all still at a loss, and if this just happens to be correct it will be purely accidental.

Chance [CORRECT] postings are not impossible, but it would be quite lucky for any poster to accomplish such an unlikely feat.
[CORRECT]
Posts that receive a “[CORRECT]” reward are kind of difficult to compose without giving away the rule… sort of like putting olive oil on mismatched bowling shoes and then trying to climb up an already slick and ice-covered slippery slope.
[CORRECT]
Thread Games posts can be quite brief.
[CORRECT]
A big bundle of blathering boisterous bleats also works in this forum, so long as our typing prolific letter-happy poster is ready, willing, and able.
[CORRECT]
Thread Games posts can be exceptionally brief.
[CORRECT]
Some horses jump, a few cows dance and a dozen penguins squeal as **TexCat **gets 10 points.
[CORRECT]
Thread Games posts can be very brief.
[CORRECT]
Certain posters (both you and TexCat) would make me happy if they would post their own original complete examples lest I think I am victim of a ruse.
