As I just went looking, I note that both of these bids are illegal as they
aren't as much as the minimum required for that letter.  With that in

And I offer to ref one of Mouse, mouse, mouse frog.

I'd rather play, but I would rather see it stay in the rules until it's
been tested once as well.

So, let's test it.   Studge, please retract P#4196.
