>>>Regards
>>>HJR I misread it at first and managed to build a table before I left work yesterday that generated a 15X15 grid of random letters, I was trying to figure out a way to mix in the names with this and re-read the OP and realized you specified in ONE column. If the puzzle resides in a table rather than a single column does it count?

Generating the names backwards was fairly simple just using substr, but being the pl/sql rookie that I am it's proving to be a challenge getting them in the grid. It'll be interesting to see the other solutions.

In any case, since my daily activities don't involve a lot of coding, this is a good practice/exersize
