Thank you Terry ,
Based on your observation I see now that Toby's query is considering
only the words starting with the first letter from position 1
I think there is a good chance to spell something nice considering

Yes, if you want to blank left hand tubes, then just remove some number

$ grep -E '^[abcdefghjk][lmnprstvwx][io][lmnprstvwx][abcdefghjk]$'

To save you that trouble I've put the whole list below. I must say
under those constraints, matches are pretty obscure...
If you begin with the second tube you can spell "cat". 8D
