That was clever. Didn't see it until you spelled it out. 8-)

Still, a fun break from all that flying.


That is the part that amazes me with these things. Once you see them you can't stop seeing them and they are there all the time.

I -- and many others -- have never questioned that I have a strange mind and, particularly due to names, I've long claimed that my Celtic ancestors just got the first letter correct, then threw in a bunch of others -- the needed ones had to be in there somewhere. Nevertheless, doing an improved Celtic script is one thing...
I understand the 'I' of the first word, 'fi', not being capitalized (yet query the 'f') but the 'i' of 'if' in the last sentence should be capitalized -- unless it's wished to go completely modern and do without capitals completely (thus allowing for such every time it's used as a pronoun for "oneself").
A quick glance shows a number of commas and at least one apostrophe (wherever you wish to stick it into 'cdnuolt') have been left out. Also, there should be a space between words; I realize some ancient scripts didn't properly do so or even use punctuation; however, since it's been done with the rest, 'mniddeos' would appear better as 'mnid deos'.

I also contest the claim of Cambrigde Uinervtisy, er, Cambridge University -- the first and last letters do not have to be in the right place, although it helps. I've unscrambled word jumbles for decades, plus some other word experience. I usually call it a 'camping club' but it wasn't such in the common sense. Many New England farms are only partly cleared as ours was and I had a number of forest camps by the time I entered my teens; the closest neighbors involved had two on theirs (although one was destroyed in our war with them -- retaliation for their spearing my home camp's tent). Anyway, some camps were allies in our 'wars' which led us to making our own codes; that led us to breaking each others' codes; that eventually led me to making my own alphabets (omitting some, if you will, superfluous letters and adding some for other sounds -- which resulted in much more than the 26 original letters). I've forgotten most of it but when I began writing stories using our camps as city states, I also began a language but, somewhere in my storage, there should be an aged dictionary of it. It's been a long, long time since then but I still can usually undo a word jumble...

Well, I finally saw the circles after the umpteenth attempt. :whistle:

I can also read Sinkrate's spelling puzzle with no problems. Perhaps this explains why so many people have problems with spelling.

Actually, I see a glimpse of a different tail, um, tale, here. I envision a glow-eyed black panther near the rear of the main character; a tiger tends to be somewhat larger than a panther so, should the panther decide to get a tiger by the tail, there may be more of a catasstrophy than it thinks...
