- Trying to make each occurrence of each number be the same letter.
- Trying to take all the letters that a number "stands for" and making words out of them.
- Taking the dart scores mod 26 to get a letter of the alphabet.
- Taking the dart scores mod the number of letters in the answer to index into the answer words.
- Taking the first numbers of the dart scores as an index into the answer words.
- Trying to use the dart scores in a real game of 301.
- Using the values from the dartboard as cryptogram replacements for the letters they represent (e.g., in word 1, E=19, so change E to R (letter 19)). I was so proud of myself for seeing this possibility, until I did it and got REAREAR AOOAEO SASAG etc.
- Same as 7 above, except just looking at the crostic.
- Using the binary form of the scores to see which letters in the answers are "on".
- Using the values in the dartboard to move forward that many letters (e.g., in word 1, E=19, so move E forward 19 spaces to X).
- Trying to find patterns in the letter patterns themselves. (It's possible this may still work, if I didn't get the right mechanism for getting a pattern out of the patterns.) (I think I'm more confused now after typing that sentence.)
- Trying to do something with the highest numbers (whether as a end-acrostic, or an ordering, or 1=A).
