Oh-fer time again  
Here are some more oh-fers. I've missed these at least 6 times in Zyzzyva without ever getting them correct. I guess I should mention that I quiz differently than some people do... I only give myself 10 seconds for each question. If I don't get it in 10 seconds, it's incorrect and I move on. Maybe that's one reason this list is so large. Funny, as I'm typing them out, I'm getting a lot of the correct anagrams in my head. Weird. Hopefully that (and the shame and public embarrassment, of course) means they won't be oh-fers for long.

1. EFILST
2. AABIILZ
3. AADLMNO
4. AAHIMNZ
5. AAMNORS
6. ACEHPRS
7. ACINOSY
8. AEILPSS
9. CCEIORT
10. CDEERSU
11. CEEORTX
12. CEIMOSX
13. EEIMRSS
14. EFHIRSS
15. IILNOPT
16. AABENRTU

Oh-fer 7s and 8s  
One nice thing about keeping quiz data in a database is that I can easily see which words are giving me the most trouble. Here are my "oh-fer" 7s and 8s... alphagrams for which I have never gotten the correct answer(s) during a Zyzzyva quiz. Maybe after posting them here, the shame of missing them will become so great that I'll always get them right.

7s on which I am 0-for-10 or worse:
1. ACDEELR
2. ADEEHRS
3. ADEEPRS
4. BEORSTU
5. CDEORTU
6. DEMNORU
7. EMORSTU

8s on which I am 0-for-7 or worse:
1. AACEILNT
2. AACEILRT
3. AADEIMNT
4. ABDEIIRT
5. ACDEIIRT
6. ADEILLOR
7. AEGIMNST
8. AEIIMRST
9. AEINNRTT
10. EEGINORR
