Maybe the 18th letter is a handicap to stop us going too quickly?
I think our horse has only four letters in the second part of the word, and to throw even more of a spanner in the works, I'm working it out at 19 letters. Edit: seeing as we all know what the word is, just Googled the spelling, seems it's 18 after all.
Sorry, wasn't on here for a few days.Quote:
