And I'm shure there are other solutions. It becomes very easy if you put the letters A and H in the centre that way they will be the only ones to have contact with 3 other letters and seeing as they are the first and last letters of the squence there is only one prohibited letter for each, instead ou two like all the other letters in the sequence. Then just go from there.
