    I'm sure that:

    3) Initially go forward unless you encounter letters that have at least a curve: B,C,D,G,J,O,P,Q,R,S,U which flip the direction in the alphabet (backward/forward)

    Just saw that:

    2) Distance forward/backward is constant = No. vowels in command e.g A+3=D.

    And still thinking at the beginning-rule, MISSISSIPPI really broke my ideas so far.

    One :blink: and it's gone. That was fast. Did not see that one coming.

    From this

    

m	a	A	L	A	B	A	M

n	b	b	m	b	a	z	l

o	c	c	n	c	z	y	k

p	d	d	o	d	y	x	j

Q	E	E	P	E	X	W	I


N	E	V	A	D	A	n	e

o	f	w	b	c	z	m	d

p	g	x	c	b	Y	l	c

Q	H	Y	D	A	X	K	B


V	I	R	G	I	N	I	A

w	j	q	h	j	o	j	b

x	k	p	i	k	p	k	c

y	l	o	j	l	q	l	d

Z	M	N	K	M	R	M	E


t	A	B	O	R	T	a	b

u	b	a	p	q	s	z	c

V	C	Z	Q	P	R	Y	D

    I can see :

    1) IF word begins with vowel, THEN search for consonant at the end, start from there, ELSE start from beginning.

    2) Initially go forward in the alphabet by N spaces. N=?? it's 1 for 5-letter commands, 2 for 6-letter commands, 3 for 7 and 8 letter commands?

    3) Flip direction in the alphabet (backward/forward) when you encounter B,D,R,O,G (all are closed-curve letters, except for G - so maybe just letters that have at least a curve: B,C,D,G,J,O,P,Q,R,S,U?)

    I don`t want the details...I know they are very long steps...but u can give us the hole numbers only,

    so u begin with hole number 7,and ended at last in hole number 12 wining two jewels...then which holes are next?

    smaller winning sequences (in terms of how many choices you make):

    2, 1, 2, 2, 11, 9, 8, 5, 9, 3, 11, 9, 11, 11, 1, 11, 10, 11, 3, 11, 7, 11, 10, 11, 5, 11, 9, 11, 7, 11, 9, 11,Choices: 32

    2, 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 6, 1, 6, 11, 4, 11, 1, 3, 9, 8, 4, 11, 9, 11, 1, 11, 3, 11, 5, 11, 10, 11, 7, 11, 9, 11,Choices: 32

    2, 1, 3, 5, 11, 11, 8, 3, 10, 1, 4, 1, 9, 10, 9, 10, 8, 11, 9, 11, 1, 11, 3, 11, 5, 11, 10, 11, 7, 11, 9, 11,Choices: 32

    2, 1, 5, 2, 3, 7, 3, 6, 6, 5, 11, 6, 8, 10, 11, 7, 5, 11, 8, 11, 2, 11, 9, 11, 4, 11, 6, 11, 8, 11, 10, 11,Choices: 32

    There might be easier winning strategies, still searching :D

    I hate to be a curmudgeon, but I would like to make a request to those who do not speak English as their native language: Could you please have someone who is fluent proof-read your puzzle before posting? In this case, because it is a logic puzzle, the wording is very important. But because the language is so non-idomatic (or just plain wrong) the reader must intuit the intent of the poster to make an intelligent reply. So, rewording the opening to read: "A king had a beautiful daughter. One day she became very ill and it seemed that nothing could be done to save her. In desperation, the king swore that any man who could cure her could marry her."

    Dear NoMinorChords many of us don't speak English as a native language. Sometimes our posts are understood by everybody else and when they're not, one usually asks for clarifications.

    Nit-picking about proof-reading, while it is clear that you did understand the OP, does indeed make you look like a curmudgeon. In a word, don't.

    Please check the Rules again, especially 5. and 6.

    Thank you.

    Dear frieds....

    As English is not my native language, so I`ll stop writing to you.

    I was very happy to find such a nice place .

    but now I must leave it for ever!

    goodbye.

    Dear wolfgang, this is non-sense. No rules say that you need to have an English degree of any sort. You have the right to post puzzles and answer puzzles as long as you don't break the rules.

    I will always ask for clarifications if I do not understand something.

    As you've seen so far, most of the people that read your puzzles and your posts understood without asking for clarifications.

    off-topic: I have enjoyed your puzzles and would be very sad if you left.
