I decided to launch a new series of forum games.

You can comment a word in the thread. (unlimited times) I will quote the comment with a number in a comment after a while. (No more than 1 words in the comment)

The winner is whoever finds the logic behind the number. (You may post the logic as an additional comment, but it won't get quoted unless the logic is correct)

This riddle is just for fun - no prizes will be given!

Good luck!

Hint: Sometimes the answer is different for different users. So checking responses to others can be the trick!

Words have to be 3 or more letters in length. You can use letters a-z and A-Z only

  • Round 1 winner: Blister (Page 1 - Page 5)
  • Round 2 winner: Blister (Page 5 - Page 8)
  • Round 3 winner: Bannanaxd (Page 8 - Page 22)
  • Round 4 winner: Birbtales (Page 23 - Page 27)
  • Round 5 (by Pinks) started in Page 27.

only problem is, i commented the entire alphabet and the output was 144. with your rule, the expected output would be 189..

26 letters - 5 vowels = 21
21 * 9 = 189


no it's consonant minus wovels
21-5=16
and it fits

also if any of the outputs were wrong, i think cooperation or pinks would have realised and corrected it

Same, i think i got it if Pinks made a mistake earlier.

Spirit is on the right track, this is
absolute(nb of consonants - nb of vowels)x (letters in username)

We dont go into negatives when there's more vowels than consonants.

And for that calculation, Y counts as a consonant, not a vowel.

The only problem i have with that is when SinB said "messy" it only went with 4.

idk if someone made a mistake earlier, but
