Final results...

1) All codes suffered from the same problem in that the sequencing of the words in the test cases did matter
2) As far as I can understand the main question regarding word length is actually regarding how many letters can overlap between two different words. I have not found evidence of normal words where more than eigth letters overlap.

Thus, test cases will not be modified to take either of the issues into account. All posted codes pass the posted test cases.

Here's a potential additional rule to take into account the issues above:
Additional test cases can be added during the private round by submitting a proposal for a new test case to the BBS. The proposed test case becomes official once it has been added to the existing test cases and the KiXgolf package has been reposted for download. If new test cases are added within 12 hours of private round end the private round will extend by an additional 24 hours. The public round will then start one day later and also end one day later. Not additional test cases will be added during the public round.

Other rules would be modified as necessary in order to accomodate this new rule.

So, and now the final results of the public round:
 Code:
Jochen .......... 204 (5 points)
Jooel ........... 205 (4 points)
Benny69 ......... 206 (3 points)
DrillSergeant ... 215 (2 points)

Jochen is therefore the winner of the public round.

Final results of both rounds combined and thus the winner of "KiXgolf A-Z" is Jochen
