In most versions of rogue, monsters are restricted to certain dungeon levels. Therefore, many combinations are impossible in practice. Generally, you will be limited to about ten possibilities (letters) at any given level. The list I have is: Dungeon Level Monsters 1 KJBSH 2 KJBSHE 3 KJBSHEA 4 KJBSHEAO 5 KJBSHEAOZ 6 KJBSHEAOZG 7 JBSHEAOZGL 8 BSHEAOZGLC 9 SHEAOZGLCR 10 HEAOZGLCRQ 11 EAOZGLCRQN 12 AOZGLCRQNY 13 OZGLCRQNYT 14 ZGLCRQNYTW 15 GLCRQNYTWF 16 LCRQNYTWFI 17 CRQNYTWFIX 18 RQNYTWFIXU 19 QNYTWFIXUM 20 NYTWFIXUMV 21 YTWFIXUMVD 22 TWFIXUMVDP 23 WFIXUMVDP 24 FIXUMVDP 25 IXUMVDP 26 XUMVDP 27+ UMVDP This severely restricts the choice of words created from these letters. Definitely levels 18-20 hold in store a fearsome combination (UNIX), one I hope never to meet. Roger Noe (Dr. No) ihuxx!rjnoe
