I've recently been trying to get my head around which rule the most- Letters or Numbers.

For sure, Letters are pretty important for communicating things from the very basic, like the rules to Deal Or No Deal, right up to high-falutin' stuff like the brainiacally brilliant Mike Reid's West End musical 'Wilde' that sadly closed after just one night.

"It's all a Numbers Game," he had bemoaned at the time, whilst contemplating the empty rows and rows of seats. And indeed it must have been. For I had read the original script due to being asked if I could help with funding (I couldn't) and frankly it blew Android Webber's drivel out of the proverbial. The Letters were all present and correct with that one. And, presumably, the words.

The number of letters is 26. The freakin same number as the number of boxes on my award-winning Channel 4 Show 'Deal Or No Deal'. And each letter is also a number. In binary.
