Dominance (Posted on 2010-06-20) Difficulty: 2 of 5
The numerals represent letters from the English alphabet, and the title is about the best hint I can give.

203 768 209 695
768 203 602 1202
812 398 1202 628
910 1202 695 910


What are the 8 words, 4 across, 4 down?

Well, off of Jer's solution

203 G   209 W   398 L   602 R    628 S   
695 N   768 O   812 A    910 T  1202 E

it looks like a reverse letter frequency distribution.

I suspect E shows up 1202 out of 10000 times in somebody's analysis of letter frequency in English language usage, followed by

T (910 times out of 10000)
A (812 times out of 10000)

etc.

In other words, more frequently used letters have a larger number and dominate less frequently used letters.
