All but the bottom right and middle right are used it must therefore be one
of these that is broken.
If the bottom right is broken the first letter can only be B
The second letter would be A
The third letter would be L or V
The fourth would be P
The word would be BALP or BAVP which are not words.
So it is the middle right that is broken then the first letter could be B or
H. and the second letter would correspondingly be A or E
The third L or R
The fourth P or Q
The word could be BALQ or BARP or BARQ or BALP or BELP… HELP
And the rest is ME
or
The first letter could be:
BFH or L
If it is a B then we have no information about the broken pin (except that it
is not in the top left or middle left)
For the other three we know which the broken pin is so starting with F the broken
pin would be top right so the second letter would not exist.
If it is H the middle right is broken so the second letter would be E and so
on – ending with the message HELP ME
