| According to the introduction, each of the 24 faces of the Letter Dice has
a different letter on it; the letters Q and X do not appear. Given the word
WEAN, we arbitrarily assign W to die 1, E to die 2, A to die 3, and N to die
4. From WOVE, O can't be on die 1 or die 2; while from SOAR, O can't be on
die 3. O is on die 4 with N. The V in WOVE is on die 3. From SOAR, S
isn't on die 3 with A or on die 4 with O; while from TOES, S isn't on die 2
with E. S is on die 1. Then the R in SOAR is on die 2. The T in TOES is on
die 3. From YARN, Y is on die 1. The I in PAIN isn't on die 3 with A or
4 with N; nor is I on die 2 with E (MICE). I is the fourth letter on die 1.
The PAIN P is on die 2. From BOIL, L isn't on die 1 with I or on die 4
with O; nor is L on die 3 with A (LAZY). L is on die 2, with the Z in LAZY
then on die 4 and the B in BOIL on die 3. From DANK, D is on die 1 and K
on die 2 or vice versa. If D were on die 1 and K on die 2, the G in GOAD
would be the final letter on die 2. However, there would then be no way to
make SUCH. So, the D and K in DANK are on die 2 and die 1 respectively.
The GOAD G completes die 1. C isn't on die 1 or 3 (TUCK) or die 2 (MICE).
C is on die 4. Then U (TUCK) is the final letter on die 2. M is on die 3
(MICE), as is H (SUCH). The remaining two letters, F and J, complete die 4.
In sum, the letters on the four dice of Letter Dice 14 (in order of
recovery) are
- WSYIKG
- ERPLDU
- AVTBMH
- NOZCFJ
