As I did find out just how many I have to distribute for the day some weeks back.. and let's just say.. that particular "Job" would not be going anywhere soon.

I've altered the hints given back up thread.

This is going to be one of those ones where I expect the exclamation of "DoH!".. once the "aha!" moment hits.
I can't really give that much more in the way of hints, as it would just give it away, methinks.

"Bit of a break" works well. But, it isn't the solution for this one.
Your approach is correct, though.. now.. figure out some other phrases that include the letters; "ak".

All those dots simply serve the purpose of spacing and presentation.

TH
There's no other way to move the "TH" over unless some characters are used, like.. ".......". The site does not recognize, or, allow blank spaces to be kept in place. Try it yourself.
