everything I'm coming up with has too many or too few letters, so if she has any letter hints and where they are placed, it might help.

letter clues assuming her other answers are right.


T is the 3rd letter


R is the 11th letter


T is the 14th letter


That is all she has.


Like I said no word bank so she isn't even sure the answer she has are right.

I came up with physical and physiological and trait(s) or characteristic(s) as the words, but none made 17 letters.

Differential can fit with the R & the T, but I don't know of a 5-letter word with the 3rd letter being T. And I've never heard differential used in that context.

properties (property) doesn't fit either.

What about characters for the second word, but I don't know about the first one yet.

Can you scan (or take a pic of) the puzzle?

derived characters fits (and I found it online relating to scientific classification), but the first t would be incorrect.

Thanks will give Gab the answerwhen she gets home and see what she thinks..I don't have a clue if her answers are right or not.She did use a lot of the words in her notes,but I don't know.Will try to scan later.Dale is on the computer in his home office and I don't want to go up and connect this computer to the printer scanner.
