Thanks to all your help in (What is the letter?), I was able to fix my mother's tile! Unfortunately, as clumsy as I am, as I was patching this tile up, I smashed a few more. There's a letter/s missing from each set again I really need your help with these ones as they are part of one collection, and form the name of a dear friend at the end. Could you please help me again?

1) J F J M A A M J O N D

2) V G Y I R B

3) G F ; O P ; D H ; C S ; P S or S S ; H-B P

4) A B A O N W S A S

5) M M V J N U E

6) F S T F F S S E T

Hint 1:

Try reading it.

Hint 2:

The order is fixed.

Hint 3:

1, 4, 2, 3, 5, 4, 5, 5, 2, 5.

  • $\begingroup$ Is the final word, an anagram formed by the letter obtained? $\endgroup$

VI.

N (First, Second, Third, ... Ninth is missing)

Final word

I'm guessing PASSION which will be an anagram of all the missing letters.

Partial answer:

I'm guessing that the missing letter from the fourth set is

M

I can't figure out why it would be, but it gives you the letters to spell

Sampson

P.S. I did figure out sets 1, 2, 3, and 5 before I saw jaydm26's answer.
