As a freshman, Letzler formed the [[Williams Trivia]] team "Mortal Kombat Intelligence Skwad," including [[Laura Effinger-Dean '06]], [[Rachel S. Selinsky '06]], [[Samuel Clapp '06]], and [[Benjamin Cohen '06]]. This team came in fifth, and won the Frosh team prize, as they did the next semester as "Mortal Kumquat," where they finished third. Merging with remnants of the Part IV and Trotsky victors, they became "Mortal Wombat" and won the contest in January '04, running a well-received contest that May (though it was beset by some techinical problems and the need to write a last-minute Hour Bonus). The next semester, he and the College Bowl team played as Penn15 from a freshman dorm in UPenn, along with a friend of [[Max Gutman '08]] who lived there, taking a surprise second-place finish. The following semester, remnants of Wombat and Penn15 merged to form "Gratuitous Use of the World 'Belgium'", winners of that semester's contest.
In addition to writing roughly a third of the on-air questions used in the Mortal Wombat contest, Letzler was responsible for organizing the mini-audios of "Movie Music" and "Video Game Music" from the Wombat contest, assembled by Effinger-Dean, as well as writing the "Pi" Audio. He was also a prime contributor to that contest's "Animation," "Music," and "76" bonuses.
