I started with STORY and found an R. I hit the remaining vowels next with ADIEU and found A,D & E. All 4 letters are out of position and there are numerous possibilities, including, but not limited to, BREAD, DREAD, GRADE, CEDAR, DREAM, RACED, and RAGED. At this point, I decided to use an elimination word to narrow my choices, I settled on CAGED to see if I could rule out the C/G and move the D to the end to see if there were possibly 2 D’s as in DREAD. It worked. The D was still out of position and no C or G. Of the words I listed above, only DREAM would fit.
