The letters are correct. The theme is supposed to be travel, but that might just throw you guys off. Thanks for the help so far.

Everybody seems to have missed the best comment of all which was made by the poster himself, "the theme is travel, but I thought it might throw you guys off". As James would say, the irony is staggering.

I wasn't talking about you Natasha. It's just that we keep on about the importance of context and after numerous posts, Bob then gives us the theme, saying he thought it wouldn't help, hence the irony.

Cheating is great . . . but even that didn't work. I put this into the anagrammer on wordsmith.org. It spit out several likely first words (Sud, Sur, Dos, Del) but didn't solve it. Guessing that it's a place name . . .

losreservadosAre you sure the u is correct? Otherwise it could be this .

No, you are using three S, and there are only two available.

Pues claro, es verdad, voy a borrar mi comentario.

According to your instructions, the number of spaces(12) do not correspond to the number of letters(11 or 10 if rr is one letter)

The combination rr is not regarded as a letter. I have a book from 1961, with CH and LL as letters (not digraphs), but not RR.

In any case, you're right: there are 12 blanks, and 11 letters.

I'd say that the only combination (meaningless as it is) that you can get out of those letters is "uso resolver". Is it standard Spanish, misspelled Spanish, some regional variant, or I am being thick?

Or, using three words, "ver los euros".

Well, it's likely that the first word is los, and that would mean that the last letter of the second word is S.

los
_ _ _| \_ _ _| _ s

The remaining letters would be urreevo.
