I’ll try to put T & H together, and maybe it’s time to repeat the E > _ETH_ER β†’ Didn’t do much except elmiinate another possibility. H must be 4th or 5th, so if it’s fifth, T 4th, E must slide into middle… TEETH, but already excluded. So, -THE ending, L is gone, hmm, do I feel lucky with another repeat letter? > **TITHE** > > Nice save for par, though there weren’t any other words left. Getting the H was pretty huge here, but not placing it until the very end was a bit deflating. ---
