I have CR??????. I want to put CRISPIER but can't parse the middle of the answer.

Middle section = r is p = change that changes Harry to happy.

Hi RayH, sorry hadn't realised it was your first post on AnswerBank 0- so, welcome.
It is always better to start your own thread rather than tag on the end of another question - it may get 'lost' in time.
