OK.  As my dictionary wasn't helping me, and I saw the diagonal mirroring of the letters, it appeared that a substitution was the valid way to a solution.

However, even going down that path is NOT an easy one. At the time of this post, I haven't realised a solution of that type either.

So what are these other obtuse words, American idioms, Chaucer misspellings?
