Spoiler to note what I've tested thus far, so I can continue with more information...
HOLIDAY 1, 2, 4 HAPLESS 0, 1, 6 ROARING 0, 3, 4 DELIVER 0, 3, 4 3 of ADHILOY 1+ of ADY 0-2 of HILO 1 of AEHLPSS 3 of AGINORR 3 of DEEILRV if A: ----D-- A(1,4,7) I(1,2,3,6,7) R(2,3,6) no EHLOPSY 1 of GNR 1 of RV if R: ABCDFIJKMQTUWXZ - need to test +each of these letters - started with A
Interesting factoid: I have been to Arcadia. Erm. Ok, not really all that interesting. LOL
Bonus! Here are some Blue Factoids for the above guesses: I have experienced many Holidays. I have felt hapless a several times in my life. I like Roaring sounds. Engines, Lions, rapids... I used to not only deliver newspapers, but also Domino's pizza. And... I have been to Arcadia a few times.
Well, I think I can assume there's no A, then. (I mean, I can assume whatever I want to, after all...)

I have been to Arcadia (National Forest) once. I "swam" at Sand Beach there; it was the summer of some huge volcanic eruption that made it unusually cool, so air temps were in the 50's and the water was 49. I dove under once just because I knew my dad would feel obligated to (especially after my little brother was knocked over by a wave - he cried). Did I mention my family is competitive? Yes, these are the same Tetris-fixing dad and glasses-sliding brother. My mom refused to bring the car closer to pick us up, so it was a very cold walk back. According to Scrabble Word Finder, Arcadia is a legal Scrabble word!
VYINGLY???? I mean yeah, technically that's a word, and I can deduce the meaning, but I've literally never heard/seen it used. Were you inspired by the tales of my family vyingly playing Tetris?
