| According to the introduction, each of the 24 faces of the Letter Dice has
a different letter on it; the letters Q and Z do not appear. Given the word
MEWS, we arbitrarily assign M to die 1, E to die 2, W to die 3, and S to die
4. From MULE, L can't be on die 1 or die 2; while from SLAP, L can't be on
die 4. L is on die 3 with W. The U in MULE is on die 4. From SLAP, A
isn't on die 3 with L or on die 4 with S; while from CAGE, A isn't on die 2
with E. A is on die 1. Then the P in SLAP is on die 2. The C in CRUX isn't
on die 4 with U, nor from CAGE is it on die 1 with A or die 2 with E. C is
on die 3, and the G in CAGE is on die 4. Given LEFT, F and T must be on dice
1 and 4 or vice versa, so that O and R must be on dice 2 and 3 or vice versa.
Since R isn't on the same die as C (CRUX), die 3, R must be on die 2 and
O on die 3. X is on die 1 (CRUX). From DOGY, D isn't on die 3 or die 4;
while from DINE, D isn't on die 2. D is on die 1. Y is on die 2 (DOGY).
I isn't on die 1 (VOID) or on dice 2 and 3 (BILE) and is on die 4. B is
on die 1 (BILE) and V on die 2 (VOID). The N in DINE is on die 3. T isn't
on die 2 or die 3 (LEFT), nor on die 4 (THIN); it is on die 1, with F on
die 4 (LEFT) and H on die 2 (THIN). Finally, from HANK, K is on die 4 and
J on 3. In sum, the letters on the four dice of Letter Dice 16
(in order of recovery) are
- MAXDBT
- EPRYVH
- WLCONJ
- SUGIFK
