[Pinot's Mom]

H please!

H it is, and it's a rich one. Thirty-three of them!

[Asiel]

A Y please

[Steve Arnold]

Only 12 Y's, but it does fill some things in. And all of the y's in the passage function as vowels, so I'll score them accordingly. (There's the reading teacher in me coming through!)

[Karen]

I always have to figure out whether the "Y" is a vowel or a consonant in calculating someone's totals - proving both elementary school English and math class do have a use in life!

Anyway, P, please!

[Steve Arnold]

P doesn't give you a lot - only six of them; but it may fill in at least a couple of words for you ...
