Blimey! That took some working out and had to resort to the dictionary in the end!

Well done on fessing up. I did that once, when I was in danger of going over the time limit. Can’t recall the details but I was on something like 7 hours taken. Obviously not all at once. I kept coming back to it and just couldn’t get it. I learnt a good lesson though which is not to think only in terms of vowels. What I mean is, if you’re looking for a word beginning with say D, don’t just think it has to be DA or DE or DO etc. it’s easy to miss the DR. Obvious I know but this was right at the start when I hadn’t really sussed it.

That was the issue I had today - completely overlooked the PR option

Not sure what others do? but past week I start in middle with "Mat", then go in middle again "Sat" or "Fat" and keep repeating in rough middle with simpler words until you get in ball park to use bigger?

Yeah similar - try to get as close to the first word of each letter - I start with Naan - and work from there. to isolate the starting letter. then work through each subsequent letter always aiming for teh earliest possible word
