The title says it all. Solve these:
HOROBOD
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQSTUVWXYZ
HIJKLMNO
7W of the W
8P in our SS
SW and the 7D
There are more, but that'll do for now.

if it was the U that was absent, I would have solved it by now... but i'm not sure what an absent R would mean.

New hint: it's elementary.

I haven't the slightest clue even with the hint. All I can think of with a missing R and elementary is recess.

That's not the same elementary as I was thinking... nobody?
If nobody's got it by the end of the week, I might just tell you.

Yes. And now for the terribly awful joke that my sister won't stop going on about. It isn't deserving of the comedy corner, but I need to write it down and get it out of my head.
There are 3 statisticians, who go out hunting one day. The first guy shoots at a deer, but his arrow goes a yard to the left of the deer. The second guy then shoots at said deer, but his arrow goes a yard to the right of the poor creature. The third guy shouts, "Yes! We got it!". .

You want me to just answer them, or leave them up here for a while?

._. I feel really dumb. The first one makes me think of potato. I can't get around it. That's what just keeps coming to mind. And the second I have nfc. I bet once the answers are given, I'll feel like a complete idiot. Lol

Pot then 8 of the letter O. Potato.
The next one? I think Clarence may have used it -- or something like it -- in a password.

Yep, you're both right. If the second one's part of a password though, I'll just leave it.
