A tight photo-finish today. Mallyh gets the gong, with honourable mentions for geevo41 & emmie.
There five possible locations for 'chit' but that's where the fun starts. One way to sort it out is to identify some or all of the vowels. E is reasonably simple to find. There is also a double 25 before the N at the end of a word. This is almost certainly O if you know what E is. The letter (9) after double N is another vowel and fits one of the possible locations for 'chit' as an I. After that, it's fairly plain sailing.
