What was the answer for the 1 and 2 blank hands?  I had SQUAB for the one blank and QOPH or QUIP for the two blank hand.

 

In the course of this, I built a macro that makes permutation lists for 9 or less items, but my actual answer did not need it in the end.  The macro uses look-up tables so runs quick, the 9 item list takes 10 secs to build.  Also, because it uses lookups, the list is right once in the table, and so the chance of a bug in the result is much smaller.  It can be found here...  https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Community-Gallery/Permutations/ta-p/1069277

I did the spelling bee challenge prior to this one, so thankfully could take lessons learned from there to reach the solution.

It's a little inefficient, but this is my solution.  It appears to work anyways.
