Yes, if you want to blank left hand tubes, then just remove some number 
of character classes from the left, e.g. for four letter words in the 
rightmost tubes:

If you begin with the second tube you can spell "cat".  8D

Thank you Terry ,

Based on your observation I see now that Toby's query is considering only 
the words starting with the first letter  from position 1 
I think there is a good chance to spell something nice  considering there 
are some significant numbers of possible combinations

[neonixie-l] Ecaterina Nixie clock project

['Bogdan Paduraru' via neonixie-l]

Dear all 

I am Bogdan from Romania 

I recently bought a 5 set of B-5018 Nixies and got the idea to build a 
nixie clock for my baby girl Ecaterina which will include her name .I 
really have to think on the design but now my goal is to stock all the 
parts needed.
My primary goal is to have the name spelled with the same sized / style 
nixie tubes => For letters E,C,A I will use B-5018's , for I will use  
B-5092 and for the remaining letters T, R , N I have seen that B-50113 , or 
B-5035 will do the job .

Now , could you please tell me how can I get some advices from where can I 
get the missing tubes ? or maybe can I get some information about any other 
tubes that can display letters T,R, N ?

Thank you very much for reading my note .
