Night of 2026-08-13 · mechanical Rehearsal
The rule
“The door admitted no letter that hangs below the line — no g, j, p, q, or y.”
A rehearsal — the house was empty. This was the rule the door practiced with in its own proposal, so it is spent. It also let 64% of the lexicon in, which is far too generous; live nights hold between 12 and 45. A rookie doorman’s night, kept for the record.
832 of 1300 lexicon words were IN (64.0%).
Admitted (832)
