I'm noticing something here....

some of us have had codes on the actual letter itself, and others are saying the code is on the envelope. This could well be significant.

Just for the record, mine was on the letter, and my number is the same size as my letter.

Also, my poster came in a sheet protector, but I didn't feel it worth mentioning, as it made sense to send it that way to encourage us to post it up outside.


Maybe it is....my W6 (with the 6 smaller and above the W) was on my envelope.

It would seem so from what I've read so far.

The poster is just advertising fodder for the game. The real prize is the code, I'm sure of that.

Just to recap then ... so far we have

O1, T2, P3, G4, F5, W6

Not sure what this means yet though!!!

I am wondering if the number just gives us the order.

Probably. I am sure they doubled up on the codes. If they sent a different code to everyone, and some folks had dropped out, we'd never get the whole thing.

co-ordinates? Perhaps they connect like a join-the-dots picture. A few missing shouldn't matter in this case.

So everybody did get markings on their letter or envelope? I have nothing written on mine like that.

Yeah, I certainly hope they doubled up, as I highly suspect that my parents threw mine away. Confused

This makes sense, IMO. However, I'm not sure how you could really make a sentence out of those words... Hm.
