no luck at first glance. is it a straightforward anagram? can only come up with "oceans" from 'no case'. since you said anagram, i am looking only for those Smile

No. Case can also be an abbreviation.

Ruckus is just the anagram indicator meaning disturbance or static.

i don't know how 'no case' means removing "cs". if there is some logic behind that, it was fair. else, not fair! Smile

how does one get "cs" from case? (not or without doesn't really matter)

regardless, thanks for the sets.

In inventory, case is abbreviated as cs and each is abbreviated as ea. Maybe it is not the typical cryptic abbr. Never mind. Can you post a set next week?
