Can you see what is yet?

Guinevere · 01-22-2013, 08:05 AM

I can see it, although you forgot a t in the third word, and I was puzzled by the capital T of the fifth word!

D'oh! I knew I'd missed one letter but didn't pick up on the second. One thing drives out another, as they say.

Well done, Ardent! With only two letters - that's really amazing.

It was the exclamation marks gave me a clue, like the capital letter must have helped you last time.
Try this one:

---/------/----/-----/--/---/-----/---/----/--/-/-----/----/----/--/---/-----/-----.

Well done again. I was going to put the text in two lines as in the book but didn't want to make it too easy. I take it the capital letter gave the game away once more.
