I've allocated you 3850 to 4124

If you go through the instructions in the first post and for the start line enter 3850 on the main form and you can delete all the words from row 4124 onwards on the word list.

thanks will try it now

I was the first to crack it but didn't get a week where I don't have to take the kids out of school, now only 03 Sept available :0(

just wondering how did you manage to get the code ?

I had the same, but they sent me another email last Friday titled 'Here's your holidays from £15 bonus token' and it had my reference number on that. You might have got one of those?

Thanks, I just checked and there have not been any more emails from the sun. I got my mum's email too, so that's 2 of us who got 1 email then nothing through the post and no second email. Ah well, we're going camping anyway

I couldn't see anybody co-ordinating a code crack attempt for the magically 8th code. Assuming the booking website opens tonight that would give an opportunity of several hours before the paper is published tomorrow with the final token.

In order to speed up the process and reduce duplication I am suggesting that we split the word list up into 20 parts (approximately 275 codes). I have access to 3 PCs so can take the first 3 allocations. If people are willing to take part then post a reply and assign yourself the next section.

You will need need excel on your PC (don't know if it works with open office or other spreadsheets). The cracking spreadsheet can be found here, post #435 (and many thanks to the person who put the spread sheet together)

forum.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3708863&page=22

To use it,
Enter your priority booking code (part 1 and part 2 in the two seperate cells) and the 7 known codes

1.WISH
2.KIDS
3.HOLS
4.BARN
5.TIME
6.ACTS
7.MUST

Either change the line where you want the attempt to begin from to the one assigned or edit the word list on the second worksheet to only include the words that you are assinged.

Finally click the button to start the attempt and it will open a web page and connect to the booking web site and automatically start filling in the details.

I have not used the spreadsheet before but I suspect it will take one or two minutes per attempt so to go through your range of words will take several hours. Hopefully the website won't ban your IP if it sees multiple wrong attempts though I don't think this will happen as the code has been cracked before.

If you are successful the page will change to the one where you can start your actual booking.

At that point what I am suggesting as a good will gesture to the other people who are taking part in the attempt, send a PM to them and give them 1 hour to make their booking then after an hour post the code word on the forum.

Also if you manage to get through your word list without obtaining the keyword then post on here that your were unsuccessful.

Sorry, code was found hours ago.

I will try and weed out all the non-words for next time to speed up the process.

Anyone want a priority code? Can't get any holiday dates I need so its going to the first person!

Thanks to everyone who helped crack the code also the the wonderful people who have posted the other words, just in case I didn't get to buy the sun.:)

I didn't manage to get a break in the hols due to different things arising with 5 kids coming - (leaving school @ different term times :mad:)

anyway I'm a naughty parent thats booked a fri-mon so they'll be having those days off!! I booked to go early july - overall happy as I know the kids will love it.

Anyway I booked for 4 people but need to add another 2 to the booking I've been told I can phone up butlins and add them after - I hope this is the case!! I have got a spare priority code that I bought from ebay (it does work) so if I can just add the other 2 on, I'll make sure I come back and hand to the next person on that list....can anyone confirm you can actually add extra people?
