Thanks Shaneystar2. I think the theme is is airline codes, but cant see a relationshio with them all.

Hi Limuru
Not airline codes ..the unclued lights have consecutive letters running through them,
For example
10d
A(stu)te
1d d(abc)hick
Consecutive letters in the alphabet .

[Limuru]

Thank you so much.
