    From the wording under the puzzle, I don't think the letters are scrambled (though I may be wrong icon11.gif).

    I havn't got a clue, but decided on scrooge as my third letter was an 'R'. This is likely to be incorrect as scrooge doesn't live at the North Pole, none-the-less I'm certain its not a reindeer as they help to pull the slay.

    Go with your first instinct!

    This is exactly what I put ... though I'm also sure it's wrong!

    By opening our seven special Christmas emails you'll unwrap the gift boxes above one by one to reveal our hidden seasonal word. The letters aren't in the right order though – that'd be too easy.
    Thanks to those who help us to win !

    I haven't a clue on the answer as im at work and can't open my email ...I was wondering (although the answer is probably prancer with the clues given and the letters p and c) whether it was one of his elves but all the names ive found so far have been very very long


    The reindeer that pull the sleigh are: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder (or Donner, he likes both since some of the small reindeer have trouble saying 'Donder'), Blitzen, and of course -- Rudolph. There are many other reindeer who live at the North Pole but there is not room to list them all.

    The ancient folklores of Iceland mention elves by the names of Askasleikir, Bjugnakraekir, Faldafeykir, Gattathefur, Giljagaur, Gluggagaegir, Ketkrokur, Kertasnikir, Pottasleikir, Skyrjarmur, Stekkjarstaur, Stufur and Thvorusleikir. Other names of Santa's elves that can be found are Baggalutur, Bjalmans barnid, Bjalminn sjalfur, Bitahaengir, Frodusleikir, Laekjaraegir, Raudur, Redda, Sledda, Steingrimur, Syrjusleikir, Tifill and Tutur.
    Thank you to all the posters and the forum guides for all your hard work it is appreciated ...

    Unlikely to be an elf - the only clue so far is:

    "7 letters. Lives at the North Pole. One of Santa’s not-so-little helpers"

    "Not so little" surely = not an elf!

    Ah not all of his elves are said to be small ;)...

    lord of the rings they are about 7 foot tall, world of warcraft 6 foot to 7 foot 6.. and going back santas elves were said to be tall, for some reason, (probably the same as we believe he now wears a red coat) we assume all his elves are small.:D

    but like i said it probably is prancer,as few comps delve into finding tricky answers
