[hankir]

What is the length of surname of the author?

Thanks.

[Neveracrossword]

Eight, after the 2 initials.

[hankir]

Thanks Neveracrossword.

Will be back.

[hankir]

Are my letters correct?
Surname: ?EY?H??N

[Neveracrossword]

No, only the E!

[ProfessorMaisie]

Your letters are right hankir - but that's the translator's name.

[ProfessorMaisie]

... you need 3 letters before your first '?' for his middle name (6 letters).

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Professor - I didn't realise Hankir's mistake!

[ProfessorMaisie]

Neveracrossword - hankir's question was misleading.

[Neveracrossword]

As there's mention of an Author and a Translator, asking about the 'author' was … maybe more than misleading!

[hankir]

Thanks.
I apologize if I caused any confusion.

I was just trying to confirm the least 8 extra letters thinking that is the surname of the author.

I reread the preamble and realized that the translator comes last.

My only excuse is trying to do 3 puzzles and running errands makes it difficult to remember preambles.

Sorry again.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Easily done hankir - especially with this preamble!

[Neveracrossword]

Hankir, glad you got it straightened out.
