Can you arrange the 26 letters of the English alphabet (ABCD...Z) into a straight line so that consecutive letters of the alphabet have an odd number of letters between them.? You must use each letter exactly once.

Examples:

Having XCY somewhere in the line is okay for X and Y because there is one letter between them.

Having XCMY somewhere in the line is not okay for X and Y because there are two letters between them.

Having YPAQX somewhere in the line is okay for X and Y because there are three letters between them. And it is also fine for P and Q.
