Descramble
Descramble
The idea is to unscrample the letters to make a very common phrase.
Thus:
"dggimnnooor" descramples into "good morning"
"ddhoooouwy" descrambles into "how do you do"
(Note that the letters are in alphabetical order but that capitals and spaces are ignored.)
So what is: "acehilnopuy" ?
First person that gets it right supplies the next scramble.

You pale chin (ok, it's not that common... probably not that correct either. We could probably do with a (cryptic) clue if this game is going to work.)

Yeah, on second thoughts I thought it a bit difficult as well! Lijke the idea if a clue though.Tetenterre wrote:You pale chin (ok, it's not that common... probably not that correct either. We could probably do with a (cryptic) clue if this game is going to work.)
So the clue is: "The server's query."

Re: Descramble
Can I help you?
Edit: I'm confident enough in my answer to offer a new one.

Now I am realising just how hard it is!
Hmm, getting closer to crossword formats, hows about adding the letter groupings, so "Can I help you" would be 3,1,4,3 ?
Or was it just a silly idea to start with?

Re: Descramble
Or we could just specify the number of words? My phrase has three words. Let's see if that helps. I think it's a good idea but we need to work out how much information it is reasonable to give. I don't think my first clue was particularly cryptic.

Re: Descramble
Could be. Or could be just be full English.
Re: Descramble
I know. I know! It may or may not be scrambled, though.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

like the clue, the answer is moralistic in tone. It is not in English, but there is a British royalty connection
