Why do you want (4, 4, 6)?
One example of this pattern (which doesn't work) is GIVE YOUR THANKS

Can we just go back a step with this - I'm not as quick as you guys and I'm not happy about trying to guess the key phrase. Using the US=TE, ET=?S knowns, the line/column SE?UT works? If so, it must form part of the key?

Bananabean - shouldn't that also work, as long as the R is in the same culumn as T?
