Is there a problem in me asking a Quizmail question. If there is I certainly was not aware of it. I was not trying to be evasive as you seem to indicate.
I think it is just that the more information you give the easier it is for people to help you - like how many letters and if you already have some of them you could give those also, the name of the quiz, puzzle or crossword can be helpful too. But I don't see any problem with your question. :-)
