I had to resort to middle initials on some of these, but I still didn't get any results for I, Y, or X. We are talking strictly about U.S. presidents here, right? If you include nicknames you could have Ike for I but then you have to pull him out of E.

... for Every Applicable Letter ...

Yes, every applicable letter in the alphabet. Are you saying X or Y are not applicable letters in our alphabet?

LOL...they are not applicable with respect to the challenge. Also, those letters aren't included in the website for this challenge:

Userque, thanks for posting the table with letters and Last Name fields. I didn't see that when I went to the site.

No problem Cactus.

Here is a word game challenge I have been working on this week, let's see how many can guess the correct answer. I will post the answer by tomorrow evening , or acknowledge if someone guesses correctly before then.

Take the names of two politicians in the news, switch the first letter of their names, read it backwards and it will name something that they are not.

​Good luck !

Ted Cruz

Marco Rubio

Here is one that was on the internet:

Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know her birthday. Cheryl fives them a list of 10 possible dates.
May 15, May 16, May 19
June 17, June 18
July 14, July 16
August 14, August 15, August 17

Cheryl tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively.

Albert: "I don't know her birthday, but I know that Bernard does not know too."
Bernard: "At first I don't know her birthday, but I know now."
Albert: "Then I now know her birthday."

When is Cheryl's Birthday?
