    Evening

    There used to be a thread where we all used to try and crack the last code in the early hours but I've not been online the last few times. Anybody still know if they do this xx

    That was when every codeword was 4 letters.
    They found out what we was doing and changed the last code to a mixture of 2 letters and 2 numbers.
    To difficult to crack.
  • Ah no ����

    Have to wait until the early hours then x

    so what time are we expecting the code to get to us? what time was it for the last few promotions? i have a feeling it was 1ish.... but does anyone have any other recollections?
  • i fear those years may now have passed whats your view essex boy? now i think we just grab the code as soon as someone at the sun or a delivery person leaks it

  • I'm sure the code was still being cracked by 1ish too (even with it being a mixture of numbers and letters)?

    How sure?

    The code tends to now be an alphanumeric one, rather than a word from the dictionary. That creates 1.7 million possible combinations, so a bit more to it than just trying a load of random words I'm afraid.

    Yes, this is what has happened the last few times maybe even the last year or more? We need to wait for the paper to be printed and it's leaked to us or someone in London buys it from an underground station just after midnight and somehow posts it on the net...

    but i am wondering what time this usually happens? i think about 1 am but am not sure...

    Trying to work out if it's worth going to bed and setting an alarm :o I am getting a bit old for this all nighter stuff

  • same too but the booking site isnt even live yet so far so its ok im thinking its going to be a late one

    either way code wise its going to be the usual 2 letters 2 numbers random last code

    We did try,more to keep us awake than anything else.
    Think the codeword was leaked by a Sun worker before we got anywhere 😊
  • even with running the spreadsheet the site needs to be on the info landing page plus even checking the source of the landing page didnt help much so its sit back time :)
