I think I’ll focus on consonants next; I tried to find a word with both S & T but could only see one with one of them, so > _T_H_O_ **R** _N_ β†’ and that worked well. T pretty much has to go before the R, then move O to the end and I should try an N because I’m really seeing > _NI_ **TRO** β†’ but I should have looked again and swapped the first two letters. > **INTRO** > > So close to a 3.
