How many letters is that, hard to tell.

Yachtsmen - anag 'stench may'

Hi yduj - may I ask that you use a '?' to indicate a space? It makes it much easier to read than using a '_'

[Mamyalynne]

?A???S?E?

so much clearer :-)

[yduj]

Thanks again. Sorry, will use ? in future.
I have just one more for you. Nymph encountered before foxtrot. E?C?

Echo

[mazie]

phonetic alphabet E= Echo F = Foxtrot

Echo (nymph in Greek myth) - as the NATO phonetic alphabet - "Alpha, Bravo...Echo, Foxtrot"

I really should have got that one! Thanks.
