No. Theoretically, the murderer doesn't even have to use those letters anywhere in his entire post.
BUT...those letters are part of the Pistons word.
So he has a choice of using two of three words in any given murder post. He can change words with different murders. If he uses the Piston word in a murder post,
THAT Pistons word has the letters A L L E C in them.
So if our murderer used a Piston word as one of the two (of 3 possible) then it MUST have those letters.
So if his words are hoop, rim ,and Wallace he can use:
Wallace and hoop for one murder
rim and hoop for the next
Wallace and EITHER hoop or rim for the next. Or hoop and rim again, etc.
Any combination is acceptable.
So our clue is that the Piston word has certain letters. It's not much to go on.
