AKHTBN iff
  • it contains an R, or
  • it contains a Q, or
  • it contains more Ns than Zs.

Ah, and something cute:

AKHTBN iff it has more straight diagonal line segments with negative slope \ than with positive slope /. Equivalently, it has more appearances of N, Q, R added together than appearances of Z. All other letters either have no diagonals, or have both kinds of diagonals (A) but in same amounts.

Correct and thank goodness, saves me from inserting a hefty bunch all at once!  :thumbsup:

Thanks! Yeah, the guess felt exactly correct.

I think I'll pass the next round to Silken or Ramond. I don't have a good rule ready.
