Game #5

[emjay]

I'm not so sure... feels like a big red herring to me... a fun one... but a red herring nonetheless. All I'm doing is trying to zero in on these groups of replacing letters, but Tibs said that doing that would make us facepalm (and kick ourselves) but that hasn't happened yet... and we've found quite a lot of groups

So then the question is what pattern(s) do these groupings show.

Okay well this is what we've got so far (if we haven't made any mistakes), groups 1-5, left to right:

(b,c,m,p), (d,g (all combos tested)), (l,n,r,s,t), (h,v,w,y), (q,z)
with f,j,k,x left

a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h  i  j  k  l  m  n  o  p  q  r  s  t  u  v  w  x  y  z

1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
v  1  1     v           v           1     v  1              v
v        2  v     2     v                 v                 v
v           v           v        3     3  v        3  3  3  v
v           v        4  v                 v                 v  4  4     4
v           v           v                 v     5           v              5
v           v  ?        v  ?  ?           v                 v        ?


Anything stand out? Not to me, really
