So another correction is needed, and the line is now 3 characters too long.
|:1j1#}.@((i.~|.e.#])26{.a.}.~98-33^96>3&u:)"0 's.' I need the 26 character of the alphabet. I therefore remove my excess character after rotation only. Many thanks.

If your approach is applied to Raul's we get: |:1j1#(25{.(u:,2#65 97+/i.26)(>:@i.}.[)])"0 's' t u v w x y z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r |:1j1#(25{.(u:,2#65 97+/i.26)(>:@i.}.[)])"0 's.' t u v w x y z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r |:1j1#(25{.(u:,2#65 97+/i.26)(>:@i.}.[)])"0 '[' #'|:1j1#(25{.(u:,2#65 97+/i.26)(>:@i.}.[)])"0' 43 Oh and a quick suggestion to change your 26{. to 25{. since you don't actually want the input letter in the list. If you read back further I got caught in this as well in one of my posts. Cheers, bob On 2012-08-29, at 7:27 PM, Robert Cyr wrote: Thank you guys. With your help the thing is nice and short. It is now only one character longer than Raul Miler's beautiful line. |:1j1#((>:@i.~|.e.#])26{.a.}.~98-33^96>3&u:)"0 'L' I usually avoid tacit programming(too lazy i guess) but I find this type of game a fun way of getting a bit of much needed practice in this nice and useful sport.
