mormegil · 11-05-2005, 12:11 PM

Was it the Isengarders that helped? I debated on whether or not to include that. Well done though

Guinevere · 11-05-2005, 01:44 PM

@Luthien-elvenprincess: Wow! Well done indeed! How did you find that one out with so few letters?!

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-06-2005, 07:47 AM

Yes, it was the Isengarders that did it for me...once I figured it out. There aren't too many word possibilities with a "s" as the second letter...therefore it had to be a vowel as the first letter. I just happened to have plenty of time to work on the puzzle of it yesterday! It was a very fun one to figure out and very satisifying to get!

Thanks Morm and Guin.

Next one then:
