Remove eight letters from the following line and unscramble the remaining letters to find a Neopian word.
U E I L G C R H T K P C L E T H T O E R S A

What's the unscrambled word?

I'm not quite sure what to do here. With eight letters remaining, there are quite a few different things that it can say...humm

It's "remove eight letters," not "remove all but eight letters."
And there's a trick to knowing what to remove.

Sorry - that's what i meant... I did remove eight, just spoke wrong...

And in any case - I read it wrong. I was making phrases, and not neopian ones. Should probably have caught onto that earlier.

Now i can't find any 14 letter neopian words....

Like I said, there's a trick to knowing what eight letters to remove.

I think I might know what to remove..

Anyway, is the answer actually one neopian word? o.o

Yes, it's one Neopian word.

Dare I say that you've got it completely wrong?

Hint: The removed eight letters occurs in order.

I'm sure I've removed the correct letters, but I can't unscramble the word -- I've been trying off and on since Wed. Can anyone give me a small hint (nothing so big as the first letter, but perhaps more like "you might find it in a shop" or "look in one of the worlds" or "the neopedia's your friend" or something)? I don't want the answer handed to me -- I just need a little hint to get me in the right direction. It's weird because I'm usually really good at word games and puzzles.

Thanks.

Well, I would have given a hint about that, but for the forum outage... The Neoboards had a more blatant hint though - the unscrambled word can be found on the pronunciations page.

Answer:
1) You're supposed to remove the letters that comprise the phrase "eight letters"

2) The unscrambled word is Polarchuck.
