Cooperative Zendo

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

So there were four circuit yesses in between summer nos and the previous guess happened to land in the middle of them.

It means I failed to correct my keyboard’s autocorrupt. I meant “consecutive” and “some”.

It's something to do with the numerical value of letters (a = 1, b = 2, c = 3...)

I would have some guesses about potential areas of exploration if 'j' or 's' had given a different result.

The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences does not turn up anything useful for the sequence of one-letter strings accepted or rejected.

Experimenting with different bases other than 10 and 26 doesn’t seem to make sense of anything

I don’t know if more data will be valuable without any clues what the data are supposed to tell me, but maybe

bb
cc
ee
ff
gg
hh
ii
jj
kk
ll

Anagrams give different results but I am not up to dealing with that yet.
