Missing Triplets 3
A missing triplet is simply where three letters have been left out of the word. In this case, I have given you five words, with the same three letters taken out of each. Can you put the same three letters back into each word? You may not jumble the word, and the letters will always remain in the same order. They may not be all next to each other, but if the missing triplet is NTP, there will never be a T before an N.
And, I'll give you a little clue. One of the letters in the triplet is 'D'.
1. A N E E
2. D C A R
3. V I T E
4. W H K E
5. M P O E
Warning: Hint shows another letter in the code.

Awesome teaser, Grungy! Loved it!
Some of the lower words made it easy for me to determine that the letters were I S D and I still couldn't figure out the first word! Duh.
Great teaser!

I had a problem with 3 "visited" because when entering I S D in that order it did not work? am I missing something enjoyed it though
Tryer,
It reads ' V I T E ' and the missing letters are I, S, and D.
I will indicate the inserted letters from the triplet with asterisks.
v *I* *S* i t e *D*

I know the order of the letters.. but I misunderstood and thought the 'inserted' letters had to follow the same pattern
